Julie Kim - Formulating your own watercolors (workshop) - (April 5th, 2025)

Some of the Washington State rocks that Julie uses to make her watercolor paint ā€¦

Iā€™d seen some of the delicate watercolor paintings that my recent studio neighbor has been making, but only just learned that she is primarily using watercolors that she concocts herself. At the same time she told me that she is teaching a class in the whole process two Saturdays from now in Bellingham, WA. Artist Julie Kim will be leading the afternoon workshop on April 5th, Saturday 2025 at Lightcatcher Studio, in conjunction with the Whatcom Museum. Grinding pigment from stone, mixing with gum arabic, honey and who knows what else - cook up some color cakes of your own.
