    Abstract Watercolor

      Description: Dive into the world of abstract watercolor painting in this engaging workshop, where you will explore the Principles of Design and a unique approach to preserving whites and focal points. Experiment with techniques like scraping, salt effects, ruler and object printing, toothbrush effects, stenciling and controlled  color contrasts to create your unique abstract painting. All skill levels are welcome.

      About the artist: Joan has a Masters of Fine Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and taught art in Talbot County for 38 years. She is a member of the Baltimore Watercolor Society, teaches workshops at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, and has won several awards including Best of Show and the Martha Hudson Award in watercolor.

      She envisions her semi-abstract watercolors as imaginative works using strong lines and bold colors to create a sense of movement and interest.
