Kris Wiltse's Classes

Our own Kris Wiltse will be teaching Painting with Watercolors and Sketching on Location this spring and summer at South Whidbey Parks and Recreation.

Painting with Watercolors. It's easy!

No other medium compares to the jewel-like qualities of watercolor in all its variations in color and granulation characteristics. Not to mention the absolute thrill of watching colors disperse, bloom and explode on paper!  Watercolor is not the difficult medium it's rumored to be. I'll bust the myth with demos and exercises that lubricate your creativity. You'll learn about color, various wash and brush techniques, composition, values, explore paint characteristics, brushes, tools and paper. Come learn about this amazing medium and leave with the skills to create lovely pictures that will not only surprise you, but inspire you to make many more!

Sketching on Location

Have you ever been struck by a place or situation and wanted to be able to draw it then and there? Sketching on location is a wonderful way to journal and document your life and experiences. Your sketchbook is a place for personal expression - it's your perspective, your style, uniquely you. It's an evolving work of art. In this class you'll learn the basics of drawing; the various tools and media, values, form, line, composition, perspective and quick sketching techniques. You'll also enhance your appreciation for the world around you while developing your own voice and self confidence. We'll be sketching most our time at various locations such as cafes, historic landmarks and scenic places of interest.
