Play and experiment with
watercolors and see what they do! Participants will get to explore how
watercolors work and feel using a variety of brushes and different quantities
of water. They will also get to see how watercolors and mix with other
materials, such as salt and ink. At the end participants will try out painting
their own picture either from life or imagination!
Instructor: Victoria
Chapman
Victoria K. Chapman is a
Massachusetts resident and native of New England. Inspired by the forests and
natural lands of the places she has lived and visited, her art celebrates
nature, animals, and the Earth, but also with a touch of magic and imagination.
Victoria believes that an
appreciation and respect for the Earth first comes from a simple enjoyment of
the outdoors. She wishes to share stories and art that inspire children and
grown-ups to appreciate the spirit and magic of the natural world and the
Earth’s amazing diversity. Victoria also appreciates mindfulness and a gentle
approach to viewing the world and our place within it. Imagination has always
been a huge part of her life and work.
Victoria graduated from the
University of Connecticut in 2004 with a degree in Fine Art and a concentration
in Illustration under the tutelage of professor Cora Lynn Deibler. After a
20-year career in web design and development, Victoria now works exclusively on
art and illustration, writing children’s picture books, and teaching art to
others. She runs Weyakin Designs, her music project Aquaence (see more at
aquaence.bandcamp.com), and can also be found dancing as part of the bellydance
duo The Nixies. Among all of that, she is a mom to three amazing kids ranging
in age from 4 to 20, and a lovable rescue dog named Daisy. In her free time,
Victoria also enjoys gardening, going for hikes in the woods, and spending time
with friends and family.
