Alla Prima Watercolor

Alla Prima Watercolor

Date: Wednesday, May 21, and Wednesday, May 28, 2025
Time: 9 am–4 pm with a break for lunch
Registration Deadline: Sunday, May 18, 2025
Location: Glen Arbor Arts Center Classroom

In this workshop learn to let go, and not worry about mistakes. The method of “Alla Prima” in watercolor means to do a painting in one sitting without going back to the painting the next day. Learn to let go, be in the moment and let the beauty of the medium take control. Students will learn how to paint wet-into-wet without using hair dryers or layering paint in another session. Letting colors mix and mingle is what it’s all about. Students will learn how to plan so that they can loosen up their painting process. Techniques and tips will be shared on how to make watercolor work for you.
