Others who are more advanced may decide to work on a painting of their own inspiration or from slides that Liz shares during the class. \n\n\n\nWe will paint\, listen to soothing music and share our creations. There will be opportunities to ask questions during and at the end of the session. \n\n\n\nBring yourself and your favorite painting supplies. (Also see suggested materials below). \n\n\n\nHere are the upcoming session dates: \n\n\n\n-April 27 \n\n\n\n-May 4 \n\n\n\nFrom Liz: I  highly recommend that you have a 9×12 inch cold pressed Arches watercolor block or larger. The pages are adhered to the block and allow for wet in wet washes essential to watercolor landscapes so that the paper does not warp. If you just have a watercolor sketch pad or loose sheets of watercolor paper it will be very difficult to accomplish the washes and techniques I am introducing. I also recommend that you have the type and size brushes recommended in the announcement for this session. \n\n\n\n**Limited to 12 participants \n\n\n\nSome Suggested Materials*: \n\n\n\nLiz recommends Blick Art Supplies: dickblick.com for supplies. High quality watercolor supplies are needed to achieve many watercolor effects. \n\n\n\n\nAcid-free white flat tape\n\n\n\nArches Watercolor Pads (9×12” cold pressedor size of your choice  Quality watercolor paper is essential for the best wet on wet effects and Arches is a high quality but reasonably priced paper. I recommend the pad for testing and experimentation while the block is essential for wet on wet paintings. (see below)\n\n\n\nArches Watercolor Block (9x 12 inch cold pressed or size of your choice) essential for wet on wet watercolor paintings\n\n\n\nWatercolor Paint Van Gogh or Winsor and Newton pocket box set).  Pocket boxes or field box sets are the best way to start out as they provide all the basic colors you need for a very affordable cost\,(or bring paint you have on hand). High quality paints are highly recommended to ensure the effects unique to watercolor painting.\n\n\n\nWatercolor Brush\, round size 6 or 8\n\n\n\nWatercolor Brush\, Flat Wash\, size 3/4” or 1”\n\n\n\nSqueeze bottle for water\n\n\n\nSoft eraser (Tombo Mono Erasers).\n\n\n\nSmall plastic palette\n\n\n\nPencils: standard and/or mechanical \n\n\n\n3 small jars or containers for water 4-6 ounces is sufficient\n\n\n\nPaper towels\n\n\n\nDaniel Smith Masking Fluid with five drawing tips\n\n\n\nGrafix Liquid Frisket Remover\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Creativity Program Facilitator \, \n Liz Lescault\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/painting-in-community-landscapes-in-watercolor-8/ CATEGORIES:Arts & Creativity,Visual Arts LOCATION:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86592438570 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260427T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260427T123000 DTSTAMP:20260310T193943Z CREATED:20260310T193938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T193943Z UID:10001176-1777289400-1777293000@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:The Mindful Cancer Journey DESCRIPTION:This group will examine a different topic each week relevant to members’ lives.
