About the Instructor — Libit Jones:

The last 20 plus years have been devoted to exploring water media and its many possibilities. I’ve gone from using only transparent watercolors, to rolling on gouache, from watercolor to fluid acrylic and back to watercolor, and from hating yupo to loving it. As a teacher I am continually learning new things and am inspired with new ideas from my students. That is why I love teaching as much as I love painting.

Artist Statement: Art, like life, gives us plenty of opportunities to learn and to grow. I say, let’s take them.

CREATIVE TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS TO INSPIRE

This demonstartion is for you IF you ever feel timid, anxious or scared in your art or any endeavor for that matter. If you are fearless this workshop is for you. Stretching and challenging yourself in a welcoming environment is what this is all about. In this workshop you will explore and experiment! No pressure to complete a master piece. “What if?”, “Why not?”, and “Let’s do it!” will be our mantra. We will experience the abandonment of mingling, running and splattering paint. We will explore mark making with tools found around your home, garage and in nature. Water soluble paint and the substrate of your choice. I will be demoing on yupo and watercolor paper with ink, fluid and soft body acrylic.
