Batik Watercolor Painting
In just a few hours, learn the fun process
of batik wax resist on rice paper to make
a gorgeous watercolor painting suitable

technique of layering wax to resist paint or

and paint colors of your choice to build up
depth and color. Then iron out the wax and
voila! You have a gorgeous picture ready
to slip in a frame.

in? You have picked the right class. Zentangle® is
an easy-to-learn art form using black ink on white
paper and shading with a soft pencil. You will be
amazed in your ability to learn this meditative art
form and create beautiful abstract pictures. Even if
you can’t draw a straight line, you will leave these
classes full of pride, excitement and wonder! You will
be able to combine an infinite number of tangles/
designs in so many imaginative ways. Take home the
skills to practice what you learn in each class. This drawing technique is so absorbing
that many forget there are others in the room. Great for anyone who wants to learn
a freeing, meditative art form.
Dusty Darrah
is our certified Zentangle® teacher. She
says “no drawing skills needed.” Each basic class will introduce you to 8 new/different
tangles (designs) so you can feasibly come to all of Dusty’s basic classes and never
repeat the same tangles. The $10 materials fee is for a kit of a Micron pen, practice
paper, soft pencil and sharpener, a blending smudger for shading, and 3 paper tiles.
The January and March sessions will feature Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) themes that
have a prerequisite of taking a basic zentangle class and being familiar with at least
10 tangles. Please bring your basic kit and colored pencils with you to class for those
sessions.
