Description

We are no longer taking online registrations for this workshop.

 “The key to any and all creative endeavors is to first recognize the unique artist you already are,” says Jeanne Carbonetti. “Through the looking glass of art, you will see the reflection of a beautiful self you may have never seen before.”

In this exciting and inspirational workshop, Carbonetti takes us to the heart of watercolor as self-expression by teaching us to work directly with light. As we learn the techniques of picture making (focus, composition, values, color, and texture), reading images, and watercolor glazing, we discover how to tap our natural wellspring of creative spirit and let the light from within shine.

Carbonetti offers inspiring and empowering advice for artists and creators at all levels of experience, helping us discover the unique artist each of us already is. The result for every artist—including those who have never picked up a paint brush—is expressive paintings of remarkable luminosity and deep, personal meaning.
