Kinoptic Watercolor with John Erwin
Thursday, June 19th
9 am to Noon
$35 Members/$40 Non Members
John is back with a new twist on your old watercolors. We will create two watercolors (and/or you can bring two old pieces you have already done) and John will lead us in creating a kinoptic painting. Kinoptic art is a technique where two separate images are combined to create an optical illusion where one image is revealed when viewed from a specific angle, while the other is visible from the opposite angle. This art form uses the viewer’s perspective to reveal different compositions in which you have two paintings in one that are viewed from the side to be revealed.
