Watercolor Workshops with Kristin Malone
Friday, May 17, and Saturday, May 18, 2024
10 a.m. to 4 p.m., $50 per day
These two days in May are designed for those new to watercolor as well as for those who want to continue painting in watercolor at Cobblestone Springs. One-on-one instruction and assistance will be available throughout both days, and time will be set aside for the group to share, offer feedback, and enjoy one another’s work. Kristin Malone is a versatile artist who lives and works in Rochester, New York.
Day One will include instruction in watercolor with a focus on washes and brushstrokes. Attention will be given to beginning a painting, simplifying the subject, combining hard and soft edges, and creating strong compositions. Early in the session, participants with watercolor experience will be invited to continue either with some of the exercises or beginning new paintings. Those new to watercolor will receive as much or as little information as they are looking for to help them get started. Day Two will be similar, but people will have the opportunity to continue painting(s) begun the day before.
Participants are invited to bring photos they have taken of any subject matter that has significance to them. Attempting to capture the feelings the photos evoke will be more important than trying to copy the two-dimensional image. Photos are not necessary, however, as this is our last opportunity to paint views inside and out of this historic cobblestone house and its gardens and property. Please bring your own lunch or plan to join a group order from Tabora’s Deli. Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided.
Please contact cobblestonespringsrc@gmail.com to register. A minimal supply list will be sent after registration. Some materials will be available to share.
