Join this fun and creative class to learn a new and colorful technique. Watercolor Batik on rice paper is a painting technique using watercolors to create art on rice paper, with melted paraffin wax used as a resist. If all that sounds unfamiliar, not to worry!

We’ll use a sketch of tulips prepared for you to trace onto rice paper. I’ll guide you through the usage and control of watercolor on this thin absorbent paper, waxing, and ironing to finish! You’ll leave with a finished 11x14 or 8x10 painting ready to frame and enjoy.

All materials are supplied.

This is a beginner’s class for adults – no experience or “talent” required!

I’m a juried artist at Townsend Art Gallery, doing mixed media, acrylic and watercolors. I love to paint watercolor batiks in this manner, like the attached example of our painting project “Purple in Spring”.

Class to be held on Saturday, June 21 from 9:30 until 12:30 PM; with limited class size of 10 students for individual assistance.
