Watercolor Backgrounds 

Play Day



At this play day, our member Teri Geever will introduce participants to watercolor painting techniques that are suitable for creating grounds for calligraphy. We will begin with basic watercolor washes - a flat, a graded wash, and a partial wash. We will then build additional layers over the basic washes. The additional layers may be representational or abstract. 

  • This play day is suitable for beginners, some prior calligraphy experience is encouraged. 
  • The event is free, but your RSVP is required to secure your spot. Attendance is limited.
  • A supply list will be provided upon registration.
