Kathie George

Class Description:

Wax and watercolor, an interesting mix! Put the two on textured rice paper and wow -- you get a look you can’t achieve any other way. Kathie will lead you step by step thru the process of layering watercolor and wax, teaching you all the important skills you need to become an expert. From choosing good photographs for batik to knowing where to put the wax to correcting something after the wax has been removed, Kathie tells you everything. This is a super fun medium where imperfection helps! We get a bit messy, but we have fun doing it. You will be learning from the innovator of this technique.

Kathie began this technique 30-something years ago, and from that first publication in American Artist in 1995 and many publications since, her technique has spread worldwide. Great watercolor skills are not needed for this workshop. What builds a great batik is SHAPE and VALUE.

On the third day Kathie is bringing a special project exploring the use of colored art tissue to apply a base, then we pull the subject out of that background.   It's a nice, finished piece and something different and fun.
