Watercolor Workshop with Joan Oakley

No experience is needed to learn how to use this wonderful, adaptable medium. Each participant will learn how to mix colors, create simple atmospheric perspective and understand how to create dynamic clouds! You’ll leave with your own finished work, ready to frame. You’ll also receive a resource list of supplies, techniques covered in the class and additional references and tools to continue your work.

Artist’s Statement:
"Clouds are a visual reminder that we are always in a constant state of change. Ever
present, they offer both beauty and information that inspires my interest in
experimenting with form, texture and color as a painter. Since our brains thrive on
novelty, I am drawn to cloudscapes and the continuous variety of subject matter found
in nature. I enjoy the challenge of finding new ways to explore the long tradition of
landscape painting."

Joan Oakley lives and works in St. Louis and teaches at Wildwood Community College.
