LEARN TO CREATE WATERCOLORS FROM NATURALLY SOURCED PIGMENTS!

In this workshop, local painter Laura Leigh will walk through the traditional method of creating oil and watercolor paint from Catskill and Appalachian Mountain rocks and clay. This includes gathering stones, milling pigments, and applying these paints with your painting process.

Laura will also discuss basic geology, the history of pigments, safety procedures, and areas of the mountains where she collects her stones.  Each student will have the opportunity to create a small watercolor palette to take home.

The end of the workshop will feature an open-paint session with pigments, charcoal and watercolor mediums. Laura will guide you to create your own painting based on nature, imagination, or a reference photo.  This workshop is suitable for ages 12+ and any skill level.
