“Wonder is the beginning of wisdom” – Socrates 

All art forms, painting, creativity, begin with that moment of wonder. Recognizing these moments and combining them with words creates a deeper meaning that can inspire, heal, and make magic.

In this class, students will learn how to reinvent their paintings through the use of words and watercolor. By weaving words with watercolor, students will go beyond the traditional approach to watercolor, moving into something inspiring – something personal.  Students will learn how to create strong compositions, strengthen design principals, use playful collage, paint acrylic transparently and use words as exciting textural backgrounds. Through it all students will learn to recognize their muse, chasing wonder along the way.

The workshop will cost $500.00 for WSO Active, Lifetime, and Subscriber Members.  Registration for Active and Lifetime members is open on May 14, 2023; Subscribers and members of the public are welcome to register beginning June 25, 2023.
