Events Calendar

Students will create a series of 3 to 9 small paintings on a specific subject.  These works will be mounted on a full sheet of watercolor paper with related wash painted on it.  The subject could be a barn.  Each small painting is a view or detail of it.  These are arranged on a large paper prepared with a wash of barn texture.  Other suggestions are trees (leaves, twigs, blossoms, etc.) birds, animals, fish, people, etc. 

Edee encourages originality and will demonstrate many of her traditional as well as innovative ways of creating beautiful effects with watercolor.  In-depth critiques along with color and design instruction make an Edee Joppich workshop an invaluable opportunity for serious painters at every level of experience.

Edee Joppich graduated from Marygrove College with graduate studies from Wayne State University.  Her inspirational classes are widely sought after.  Edee's work is in corporate and private collections.  She is a signature member of the International Society of Experimental Artists.  www.edeejoppich.com.
