Capellagården's palette – Watercolor the playful color
Date: 22-24 September 2023
Cost: SEK 3,300 including board.
Location: Capellagården, Vickleby, Öland.
INFO ABOUT THE COURSE:
During the weekend, we will playfully explore the possibilities of the watercolor technique. Based on Capellagården's beautiful surroundings and color palette, we investigate and develop our painting and our knowledge of color. There are no performance requirements here, the starting point is curiosity and being present in the creation. We will alternate experimental moments where we explore the possibilities of watercolor pigments with exercises in image composition. You will have the opportunity to work with your own creation in focus. The goal is for you to be challenged at exactly the level you are at.

INFO ABOUT THE COURSE:
Are you interested in learning how to dye with natural pigments from plants that you can grow yourself? During this course you will learn the basics of natural dyeing on different quality fabrics. We create a color palette based on our color discount and other plants such as e.g. indigo, crab, goldenrod, tagetes etc. You can try manipulating the colors with different pH values and pickling methods. It also includes techniques for creating patterns such as ecoprint and shibori. You will also learn tips and tricks about how you can grow your own color plants and extract pigments in different ways.
