VISUAL POETRY: Watercolor as a Language of Energy

Friday August 1, 2025  4pm - 8pm

$80 

No experience necessary. All materials provided.

For painters with a foundation in watercolor seeking to go deeper. This workshop focuses on watercolor as a tool of perception—both analytical and intuitive. Through exploratory exercises, we’ll work from life in downtown Grenada ana Chakchiuma Swamp to create energized compositions that reflect your unique visual language. Discover how to distill fleeting impressions into powerful abstractions while refining color sensitivity and brush control.

Key Focus:

  • Advanced color mixing (value/temperature relationships)

  • Composition as visual puzzle

  • Working fluidly between observation and abstraction

  • Field-tested strategies for painting outdoors

Supplies include:

M. Graham & Co. watercolor paint, Canson XL paper, Robert Simmons flat and round synthetic bristle brushes
