Masterclass Description:

In this immersive Masterclass, brushwork becomes choreography. Each stroke, from delicate whispers to bold gestures, is a move in a visual dance — one that flows between control and improvisation. We’ll explore how to develop your “brush rhythm,” connect shapes fluidly, and lead your painting with expressive confidence.

“In watercolor, the brush is the dancer, the water is the music, the paper the dance floor and the pigment is the emotion. You must learn both technique and timing to let the painting move.”

Key takeaways include:

• • Change your pace from “Square Dancing” to “Jazz Improv”

  • When and how to let the brush “speak” in your painting.

  • Learn tempo, rhythm, restraint and release

  • Relationships of the 3 P’s: Pace, Pressure and Point of Contact

  • Dissecting brush control: flat washes, drybrush, flicks, charging, scumbling.

    We’ll explore:

  •  “Waltz” strokes: Repeating, rhythmical side-taps

  • “Tango flicks”: Controlled snaps for energy

  • “Ballet lifts”: Gentle, lifting motions for soft edges, atmospheres

  •  “Jazz improv”: Expressive drybrush and unpredictable marks.
