Beginning Watercolor Workshop
Saturday/Sunday November 10-11, 2018 10am-3pm
Stamp Student Union Studio A (Arts & Learning Center) University of Maryland, College Park
I’m excited to work with University of Maryland and Studio A again. This time, we’re happy to offer a fun-filled weekend workshop in November. Don’t worry, it’s an away game weekend for Maryland.
Seats are limited. Sign up today!
Students: $60
Faculty: $70
General Public: $80
*Prices include all materials for both dates. Just come in or bring your favorite watercolor tools you may have.
This class is taught by Ikumi Kayama, founder and principle illustrator of Studio Kayama. Studio Kayama Medical & Scientific Illustration helps experts, educators, and art directors creating unique and custom illustrations by combining unmatched knowledge and expertise in the sciences and visual communication.
What to Expect:
Get all the right tools and tips to start creating beautiful accurate illustrations in watercolor.
There are thousands of other art workshops you can attend this year, filled with fluff and vague or irrelevant instructions.
Each Studio Kayama event is carefully curated and thoughtfully planned to maximize your information absorption and studio work time. You can use the useful practical techniques the very next day to increase speed and achieve accuracy in your work.
We meticulously source the best materials for high archival quality and offer them to you at near cost. We’ll show you the techniques and tips we’ve developed and mastered.
We’ll be covering a wide array of topics such as water/pigment ratio, amount of water on paper, how to mix colors, and more.
Workshop that feels personal
We welcome everyone from all levels. Minimum age to attend this class is 18 per University policies. Each student will work on an independent painting to get personal instruction that matches their level. We aim for the balance–so it’s approachable enough so it’s enjoyable, but challenging enough to feel accomplished. The workshop is a two-way dialogue. We listen carefully to each student’s comments and their assessment before we give further instructions. We want you to leave the workshop inspired, confident, and excited to do more.
