Watercolor with June Webster Explore the wonderful medium of watercolor by examining the Museum's magnificent collection from Masters like Sargent, Homer, Prendergast and many others. Create your own masterpieces with artist June Webster on a variety of watercolor techniques. June received her BFA in painting from the University of Connecticut. For the past 13 years, June has been a teaching artist at the NBMAA. She is a member of the CT Watercolor Society and the Northeast Watercolor Society. June is an award winning artist, recently adding “Best in Show” at the 2008 and 2009 Connecticut Watercolor Society exhibitions to her achievements. Printmaking with Melissa Meredith M.C. Escher was above all a passionate printmaker who used nature as an influence and an inspiration for his amazing prints. The monotype as a print medium has a magical appeal in its beauty allowing both a drawn or painted image. This class will create plates both indoors and out using water based mediums on plexiglass printed on a press. Participants will learn the traditional watercolors, watercolor crayons and pencils and the experimental inks, graphite and collage methods of both monotype and monoprint. Students will explore printing on both watercolor and printmaking papers as well as enhancing the finished print. Sketching with Masters Sharpen your pencil and learn to draw from the Masters! Museum educator Heather Whitehouse will gently guide you to sketching exercises in the Museum's galleries. With frequently changing exhibitions there is always a NEW master to copy; whether it be Mary Cassatt, Thomas Cole, or Walton Ford. Stay for lunch at Café on the Park and share your day's work and artistic conversation with fellow students. .
