Circle your calendar for September 17th as a reminder that our next club meeting is at 6:30 pm and we have a wonderful, new and interesting workshop being presented by Jim Zinanti. (One of our very own members!) He has provided us with some eye candy of his paintings, using his unique watercolor technique.We're going to be using Jim's technique of dropping thick watercolors into puddles of water.
People wanting to try the technique should bring the following supplies:
Jim as added two more items to the supply list: *Tape and *A support for your paper such as
gatorboard, foamcore or plexiglass.
*140 lb. hot press watercolor paper, approx. 6x8"*Opague Watercolors such as: Cadiums, Chromiums, Cerulean Blue, etc.
*Transparent Watercolors such as: Phthalos, Quinacidones, Alizarin Crimson, etc.
*large and small round brushes
*#4 round or smaller brush
*Hair dryer if you have an extra
*Plus your regular painting supplies
Some prep work is needed in order to get started painting right away. So please select a photo that has large areas or simple shapes such as these building paintings that Jim has shared with us. Simple shapes can be trains, cars, trolleys, buildings, stacked rocks, etc. Please have your image drawn on your 140 lb. hot press watercolor paper before we meet. (Jim has provided a drawing that you can right click, save and print on your home printer if you wish to use his image).See you there!
