"Watercolor Batik”
Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 19th & 20th, 2026 9:00am-4:30pm
Instructor: Ryan Fox
This is a two-day workshop. Limited to 12 students
Discover a vibrant new way to paint!
In this exciting workshop, you’ll explore watercolor batik — a luminous fusion of watercolor and wax on delicate Japanese rice paper. Using a modern twist on the age-old batik process (where melted wax is applied to fabric to resist dye), you’ll layer rich color, shimmering highlights, and dramatic shadows to create artwork with gorgeous texture and depth.
We’ll start with a simple drawing, then dive right into technique: how to build light and shadow, when and where to apply hot wax to preserve details, and how to develop that signature batik “crackle” effect.
"Layers of Design-Watercolor Pouring”
Saturday & Sunday, Oct. 31st & Nov 1st, 2026 9:00am-4:30pm
Instructor: Ryan Fox
This is a two-day workshop. Limited to 12 students
Learn to create luminous, expressive watercolor paintings — without ever picking up a brush. In this two-day workshop, we’ll focus on intentional design and careful planning as you explore the art of pouring diluted watercolor directly onto paper. Pouring allows you to achieve rich color transitions, soft blends, and glowing transparent layers that simply aren’t possible with traditional brushwork.
