Beyond the Brush
Watercolor Texture Lab
🖌️ 🔚
Watercolor doesn’t have to be boring! It can be ragged and rough, crystalline and speckled, soft and sinewy.
In this playful, hands-on workshop, we’ll experiment with unexpected ways to create texture and pattern with watercolor. You’ll learn how ordinary—and a few not-so-ordinary—materials can change the way watercolor moves, settles, resists, and reacts on the page.
We’ll explore techniques using masking fluid, salt, rubbing alcohol, blotting and stamping, wax resist, and even Halloween webbing! Along the way, you’ll create a collection of textured watercolor experiments you can use for future paintings, illustrations, and creative projects.
No watercolor painting experience needed. Complete beginners welcome!
