Water(color)ways: Travel Journaling in Ink and Wash

This workshop is sold out, please reach out to Moab Arts Staff at marcadmin@moabcity.org or 435-259-6272 to be added to the waitlist.

Class Description: In this class, we’ll do some warm up “exercises” with ink and wash, to help you develop your unique style.  Do you prefer to ink-in more detail and paint less, or will you minimize your line work and let the watercolors tell the story?  Then we’ll start capturing some memories of the day as we (weather-dependent) venture out together.  I hope the class will inspire you to take up ink and wash visual journaling as a way to preserve special moments and feed your creativity one small page at a time.

All materials provided, students will receive a travel sized drawing pad, paint container, brush and pen to take home at the end of the class.

Artist Statement:  I’m a retired Air Force officer and scientist, and I’ve relished having more time and new opportunities to challenge the creative part of my brain. I’ve tried several kinds of art media and, though I love the portability of watercolors, the scientist in me still craves details.  Ink and wash was the solution!  Working in the small format of a journal keeps the process from being too daunting, and creating the journal allows me to really connect with what I see.  When I’m not traveling, I still capture special memories in my visual journal because, for me, it’s way more fun than writing!

Ages 12+ (if you have younger children who are interested please reach out to marcadmin@moabcity.org)
