Watercolor Workshops

Saturday • March 7 • 8:30am AND 1:00pm
Winterset Art Center

The Winterset Art Center is offering two watercolor classes on March 7th, both taught by Iowa Watercolor Society member Robert Zeidler. These sessions are recommended for some watercolor experience or who consider themselves intermediate level students.

In the morning class (8:30am-12:00pm), the composition will be a horizontal landscape. The painting process will focus on placing strokes of color next to another color for interesting blending and a more exciting result.

In the afternoon class (1:00pm – 4:30pm), the design provided will be a vertical composition of a butterfly on flowers, utilizing a painting approach that starts predominantly with damp paper and finishes with drier applications of paint.

Attendees are asked to bring their own basic watercolor materials. The instructor will provide a demonstration so you will see how he approaches the design, then each student will have plenty of time to work on their own piece and ask questions.

The fee for each class is $35. Sign up with the Winterset Art Center today to reserve your spot at the table!
