For the spring term, I took a class at the Chester County Art Association in Watercolor with Experimental Mixed Media with Chris Chadwick. It was my intention to just go to the class, try out whatever he had in mind for us to do with no expectations of producing any artwork worth keeping. We used cheap watercolor paper, and a huge variety of other things to just experiment. For the most part, the paintings I did in class were nothing to write home about. However, a few paintings I like came out of it.
This first painting is watercolor with rice paper collage.
The paintings below were all done the last 2 weeks of class. In the second to the last class, he showed us how to do batik with paper, and we all enjoyed it so much that we unanimously voted to do batik in the last class also (he let us choose what we would do in the last class). I like the batik so much that I would eventually like to get the supplies to be able to do it at home. These are all watercolor with the batik.
