Watercolor Practice: Expressive Abstracts – Inspired by John Marin

2:30 to 5pm

Join us for our Watercolor Practice series. Each week we’ll study and copy renowned artists to build your watercolor skills in color, technique and composition—then use what you’ve learned to create art that reflects your own style.

This week our featured artist is: John Marin.

John Marin (1870–1953) is best known for his expressive, semi-abstract watercolors of New York City skyscrapers, the Maine coastline, and the Southwest desert. He pioneered a loose, energetic style that used bold brushstrokes and fractured compositions to capture the motion and rhythm.

Space for this class is limited. RSVP is required.
