              Gary Johnson – Stylized Watercolor Class

              Saturday April 13, 2024
              9:30 AM – 3:30 PM

              121 W. Walnut Street • Rogers, AR 72756

              Gary has created a new class in watercolor that we think most people who paint landscapes will enjoy. It’s called Stylized Landscape in that most everything in the painting will be unlike your average rectangle, square, or straight line. We’ll create a more stylized approach to everything plus add a bit of abstract to the overall painting.

                  This is a four day workshop covering both Intuitive and Representational abstract watercolor techniques.

                  The first two day portion of the four day workshop is designed to teach all levels of students to paint intuitively, starting without any preconceived ideas.

                  The last two days is the Representational Abstract portion of the workshop where the instructor will develop a representational abstract drawing and then paint it using loose watercolor styles to create a finished piece.
