About this Event
Join Seth Taylor for a two-hour adult workshop focusing on Mountain and Water Painting, a bold style of Asian brushwork utilizing delicate ink gradients to create paintings inspired by the beauty of the natural world.
Arising in Asian antiquity, Mountain and Water painting has challenged artists for thousands of years. With little more than a brush, ink and a sheet of paper you can create spontaneous landscapes that come alive on the paper.
In this workshop, we will complete a short survey of Mountain and Water painting to ground our discussion and exploration of this technique. Although Mountain and Water painting can take a life time to master, the tools and techniques are accessible to any level artist. We will learn to embrace our happy accidents, conquer our fear of a blank sheet of paper and bring our imaginations alive with ink.
The majority of our time will be spent putting brush to paper. All students will have the opportunity to create several paintings that will help the techniques sink in and go home with plenty of materials to continue their adventures in Mountain and Water painting.
This workshop takes place in downtown Sturgeon Bay, at the Miller Art Museum's new 3rd Avenue workshop space, M3. Your ticket includes a beginner painting supply kit, over a $25 value! With 100 pages of rice paper, your own brush, ink and felt pad in your kit, you'll be able to continue your exploration of Mountain and Water Painting long after the conclusion of the workshop.
