Watercolor: Flora Abstractions (October 1-4, 2026)
with JAN HEATON
Observe flowers with a new perspective using abstraction interpreted in contemporary watercolor. Capture not only what you see, but also your personal response as you focus on line, form, shape, and color. Daily demonstrations, one-on-one instruction, and sharing what you have painted provide the foundation for a dynamic exploration of this nuanced medium.
Learn to simplify and abstract subject matter with minimal marks, and learn a broad spectrum of of techniques to create bold and captivating works on paper. Develop color palettes and imagery to stretch your preconceived ideas of these elements and their initial meaning. This workshop guides artists through how inspiration translates observations into abstract, graphic, and bold watercolors.
All skill levels are definitely welcome. In the classroom, Jan believes all students are individuals with their own personal library of talent and inspiration. Her teaching methods are formed by the fact that everyone learns and makes art in their own way.
