Description

How is watercolor made? We will learn how to make watercolor pans by hand with plant and mineral [earth] pigments. This class will explore how to use gum arabic, honey, plant glycerin, clove oil, and other natural binders . You will also learn how to make a watercolor medium from scratch. Learn to extract beautiful pigments from ordinary natural materials (like leaves, vegetables and flowers) and turn them into watercolors―no plastics, or chemicals needed! We will have some time to test our colors and discuss painting technique but this is not a painting class. It is a hands-on mix of chemistry, cooking, and understanding where and how materials are sourced and how they’re made.

4 sessions. Each session is 2 hours. Some pigments will need to settle, dehydrate, and cure and the process will span over 2 classes. We will provide drying space and storage for the processing pigments. That means you will start a color in one class and finish it in the next class. You should have 5-6 handmade, custom adjusted colors by the end of this class.
