After punching the holes in your pages, you will learn three different stitches and finish two hand sewn 8" x 10" journals and one 5" x 6" accordion journal. The journals will be open spine journals with beautiful decorative stitching embellishing the spine.

“Negative Painting in Watercolor”
Instructor: Annie Glacken
Oct. 14th – 15th, 9:00 - 4:00
Location: Florence Thomas Art School, West Jefferson, NC
Cost: $200
To Register: https://www.florenceartschool.org/event/negative-painting-in-watercolor-with-annie-glacken/
Description:
In this class, we will paint “Fall Leaves and Acorns” in watercolor using negative painting techniques.
Negative painting is the process of painting the background space around a penciled in shape in order to create it. For example, instead of painting a leaf shape, you paint the space around it with a darker value to define the leaf. Therefore, you create the positive shapes by painting the areas around them. As the painting develops, more shapes are added. Each layer will add a darker value thereby creating depth in the painting.
Annie teaches in a paint-along method by first demonstrating the step and then allowing students to complete the steps incrementally.
This class is suitable for advanced beginners. Students must be familiar with using basic watercolor techniques such as creating basic washes, wet into wet washes, and glazing.
