NOTE:
Don't worry if you don't have everything on the optional list - the instructor will have additional supplies available for any student that doesn't have certain supplies readily available. Please don't have go out and buy new stuff unless you want to. I'll have things to share! I just know that often, students have favorite brushes, paints, and also their own papers that they would prefer to work with....you can totally bring those! |
This is an example of a collage piece so you can visualize what we might end up making in the class. I like to provide a "base" from which the students can delve into design and technique, but also give them room to push into the meaning and intention behind their creation...so we will talk about that too!

"Expressive Watercolors Using Wet-On-Wet Technique" with Susan Corser
Saturday, March 21, 2026 -- 9am - 3pm Using wet-on-wet techniques, with florals as our subject, this workshop will encourage us to focus on the more expressive aspects of painting, starting with value sketches to visualize the overall composition. We then begin the painting on heavy watercolor paper, applying a layer of clear water before adding paint to create soft edges for the painting’s major shapes. We gradually add more layers of water and paint to develop the image, adding harder lines where needed to create the desired composition. Other media such as pen and ink, oil pastels, etc., can be added if desired to create texture and interest. Class suitable for beginners as well as more advanced painters.
About Susan:
Susan Corser has been painting and drawing since childhood, focusing on figure drawing in her early years, transitioning to landscapes after moving to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in 1991. She now splits her time between Steamboat Springs and Denver. Her primary medium is oils, although she also enjoys watercolor and mixed media. Susan enjoys teaching art and has taught private and group lessons in watercolor and mixed media. |
