Pushing the Limits with Water Color Mediums

Drawing and Painting with Water Soluble Mediums

On a warm Fall day 15 artists met with Judy Hoiness at a Cascade Fine Art Workshops/ Atelier 6000 workshop in Bend Oregon to explore using new tools and new techniques with water soluble mediums. With Judy, an award winning artist, we discovered the versatility of using watercolor paints, sticks, crayons, pencils, and graphite on basic watercolor paper, Yupo paper, Tyvek and textiles.
