INK & WATERCOLOR ON
JAPANESE MASA PAPER

The process of working with watercolor and ink on masa paper allows beginner and intermediate painters to create unique and beautiful finished works. Masa is a versatile Japanese paper which can be used for a wide range of art techniques. Using images taken in the Garden, we will create detailed ink pen drawings on day one; you will be able to do a little tracing as the paper is translucent. The entire second day of the workshop will be spent painting, learning how to mix colors and layer paint for intensity and shading. For those who may be hesitant or think they don’t have enough artistic ability, all previous participants have been pleased with their final artwork. This is an accessible process and the final piece is impressive.
