Do you have an Ipad or Iphone and want to learn more about how to use it with
your artwork/how to play/be creative ? Lynne Baur is a knowledgeable and
patient teacher as well as a talented artist who can help you with that. Linda will
guide us through a couple of apps to use.
Our plan is to have 8 students split into 2 groups and Lynne will alternate working
with each group. While one group receives instruction, the other group will
experiment/ practice what they learned. We are limiting the class size because
people tend to have a lot of questions in lessons like this, and if you get too
many people in the room, someone invariably gets lost and that gets frustrating
and discouraging. It is better to have fewer people and actually have a good
learning experience. Lynne has the capability to display the screen of her iPad
on a larger monitor, so it's easier for everyone to see what we're doing. You
need to bring your Ipad/Iphone (Androids need not apply) . You should also
bring your Apple Itunes password in case you need to buy apps, etc.

This workshop is a perfect opportunity for the
beginner painter as well as the experienced
painter to learn techniques enabling them to
complete successful watercolor paintings.
Carol shares her step-by-step approach To
painting with students of all levels. All
projects include written instructions, a line
drawing and a color photo. Drawing ability is
not necessary, allowing the student to focus
on the mechanics of painting. Carol paints
watercolor with an emphasis on wet into wet
watercolor techniques. Each day of class
will include a separate project with the
expectation of going home with completed
paintings. One day of class will focus on
painting a watercolor batik incorporating
watercolor, rice paper and wax to create an
exciting alternative to traditional watercolor.
There are scholarship opportunities
available, see information at
