Calling all art students and future students...
I know many of you are disappointed the Graham Berry workshop was canceled. So, I am having an open paint day. Please bring in a painting or idea you are working on and lets paint together! I will be working on a portrait painting and will do a demo if you like. I will mainly focus on individual and class critique to enhance your personal watercolor journey. If you want to start a new painting or are just getting started this is a great class to receive the individual inspiration and techniques you need to be on your way to painting!

For more information on Lian, visit
Watercolor Workshop with Lian Quan Zhen
Lian teaches basic techniques such as compositions and coloring, and his unique methods of "Color Pouring and Blending" and "Paint Around (negative painting)." He shows how to mix colors on watercolor papers, as well as letting the pigments paint themselves. Only three primary colors will be used for painting. There are 4-6 short demos each day with student practicing between, so that they can absorb and assimilate the lessons.
Price: $290 for all 3 days. Limited spots, so pre-register $100 of your total cost or pay in full now to reserve. The remainder will be paid in full by August 30th
Location: TBA
