Watercolor Batik: Artfully Capturing Beauty through Wax and Watercolor with Erica Qualey


  • Farnsworth Art Museum 16 Museum Street Rockland, ME 04841 USA (map)

This class meets weekly on Mondays on 10/27, 11/3, 11/17, 11/24. Please note there is no class on 11/10.

Watercolor and wax is an interesting combination, and when you add in a delicately textured rice paper… WOW! The results are fantastic and lovely, with rich bold colors and soft textures created by the natural qualities of rice paper.

Erica will lead you step by step through the process of layering paint and wax, teaching you all the skills you will need to know to start creating your own watercolor batiks. From choosing good reference photos and designing strong compositions to where to apply wax and how to make corrections when you make a mistake, this class will guide you step by step as you paint your own colorful pieces. This is an incredibly fun technique that encourages you to paint loosely and playfully.

Some experience using watercolor is helpful but not required. All levels of painters, from beginners to advanced, are encouraged to join!
