Alex Alampi Workshop
"Watercolor Wash Techniques”

Thursday, April 8^th, 6-9pm

Gallery 50

50 E. Commerce Street, Bridgeton, NJ 856-575-0090

Students will learn how to paint transparent watercolor washes to establish
continuity in their paintings and form the foundation for the entire watercolor. Working from your own photos or those provided we will practice wet-on-wet techniques to blend beautiful clean color with gradation for skies, water or land in landscapes or waterscapes. For intermediate to advanced students only.
