Join award-winning artist Alleyn Yasskin at the Artists Center at the Galen in Palm Desert, CA on February 10, 2024, for the Innovative Watercolor Techniques on Yupo workshop. Alleyn will guide participants through the creation of beautiful images and textures using watercolor on Yupo, a non-absorbent paper-like surface. This two-day workshop offers an ideal opportunity for watercolor enthusiasts to explore new ideas and materials, or for those who simply love experimenting with different techniques.
Throughout the workshop, Alleyn will focus on the unique outcomes that can be achieved with watercolor on Yupo, including stunning textures and light effects that are hard to replicate on other surfaces. Participants will learn how to create two completed paintings using this innovative technique.
The workshop includes a list of recommended supplies, including brushes, paints, and other materials needed for the workshop. Alleyn suggests using Silver Black Velvet watercolor brushes for their excellent point and combination of natural and synthetic bristles. She also recommends using artist-grade watercolor paints, such as Daniel Smith, with a warm and cool version of each primary color. Additional supplies include a flat surface board for mounting paper, a clean watercolor palette, and various textural items like cheese cloth, bubble wrap, and stencils.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to learn Innovative Watercolor Techniques on Yupo with Alleyn Yasskin at the Artists Center at the Galen. Tickets for the workshop range from $75 to $175.
