This course is a playful approach to finding those patterns and forms in the natural world, from plants, rocks, and wood. I’ll bring some materials for inspiration, and we’ll start with a free-form exploration in watercolor, then pick some favorites to develop into more refined, finished pieces. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e Along the way, we’ll look at how simple observations from nature can be translated into shape, form, and texture. The class is designed to encourage experimentation while building a collection of finished studies.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS NEEDED\u003cbr\u003eThese are the supplies you'll need to bring for class—feel free to supplement this list with other options you love or have on hand!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/collections\/handmade-watercolors\" title=\"Handmade Watercolors\"\u003eWatercolor paints\u003c\/a\u003e – We recommend a mix of warm\/cool\/earth tones and a few brights or neons if you have them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"CfM Paper Goods\" href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/collections\/paper-goods\/\"\u003eWatercolor paper\u003c\/a\u003e – A pad or block of cold press paper, or \u003ca title=\"Strathmore Ready-Cut Cold Press Sheets\" href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/products\/strathmore-ready-cut-cold-press-watercolor-paper\"\u003eindividual sheets\u003c\/a\u003e (8\"x10\" recommended, but any approximate size will do!)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"CfM Brushes\" href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/collections\/cfm-brushes\/\"\u003eBrushes\u003c\/a\u003e – A \u003ca title=\"CfM Round Brushes\" href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/products\/cfm-round-brushes\"\u003eSize 6 or 8 Round\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca title=\"CfM Flat Brushes\" href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/products\/cfm-flat-brushes\"\u003eSize 10 Flat\u003c\/a\u003e, along with any other sizes\/styles you enjoy using\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard pencil - 2H\/3H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErasers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional: Washi, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/products\/artist-pro-masking-tape-1\" title=\"Artist's Pro Masking Tape\"\u003eArtist's\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca title=\"Nichiban Masking Tape\" href=\"https:\/\/caseformaking.com\/products\/nichiban-white-masking-tape\"\u003eNichiban\u003c\/a\u003e masking tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd like to purchase supplies from our shop, you can order online and select in-store pickup, or shop in person before class. \u003cstrong\u003eShop hours are 11am-6pm daily; please plan ahead if you're picking up supplies!
