Learn to create a poured watercolour painting with artist Catherine Martha Holmes during a five part class at the Campbell River Art Gallery starting Friday, Nov. 6.
Participants will start with stretching watercolour paper and becoming familiar with liquid watercolours, tube paints and drawing gum. Students will then review their chosen images, apply drawing gum and paint using a limited palette of primary colours. Watercolour stretching boards will be provided and watercolour paper will be available for a small fee. The class will run from Nov. 6 until Dec. 4 on Fridays from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
The class costs $120 for Campbell River Art Gallery members and $140 for non-members.
