Wearing your design on a t-shirt or making reproducible posters gives this medium the unique ability to get your message out. In this class you will learn about the various processes of screen printing, including handcut stencils, and block-out resist. You will also work in relief printing using linoleum and wood cuts.

  Concentration in composition and values to create drama are the focus of this workshop. Jeanne gets to the basic understanding of the medium, brush strokes, color mixing using a limited pallet) and how to create life and light in a painting using many different techniques. She works with all levels of learners and tries very hard to increase understanding of how different techniques work in individual applications. Understanding how each level of porosity effects your results in a painting takes the mystery out of watercolor and increases your ability to produce consistent results in every painting and have a real understanding how to recreate (or avoid) the effect next time.
