In this fun and fresh water media workshop, you'll learn how to go "beyond" plain watercolor in a fun and relaxed environment while learning to incorporate some new ideas into your tried-and-true techniques. Expand your horizons as you transport your landscapes, portraits, animals - or anything you want to paint - into even more exciting and relevant works of art.

Ward will be teaching his revolutionary painting techniques, using several different kinds of water media including crystal powdered paint, iridescent paint and more. These techniques are featured in his popular DVD/Video series "Brusho and Beyond."

You can paint either pre-selected class projects in a loose, step-by-step format or bring your own (we recommend you have them pre drawn, masked and ready to paint.

Students will get lots of one-on-one instruction. Ward will encourage you to paint and experiment with the different media as little or as much as you like, but if you wish to work with only the paints you are used to, that’s super okay too. The techniques that will be shared are fundamental, time-tested and apply to all kinds of creativity and mediums.
