In this workshop\, artist Yidan Guo will guide you through the fundamentals of watercolor\, making it easy to start exploring. \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn essential basics\, including: \n\n\n\n\nKey materials (paints\, brushes\, paper) and how to use them\n\n\n\nCore techniques: wet-on-wet (blending colors on damp surface)\, wet-on-dry (applying color to dry surface)\, and dry-on-dry (layering crisp\, dry brushstrokes)\n\n\n\nBrushwork styles and simple composition tips to make your art feel balanced\n\n\n\n\nYidan will demonstrate each technique step-by-step\, and you’ll get plenty of hands-on time to practice. By the end of the workshop\, you’ll walk away with new skills and a finished watercolor piece of your own to take home. \n\n\n\nNo prior experience needed—just bring curiosity and a willingness to play!All experience levels are welcome. All materials supplied. \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nYidan’s journey as a painter has spanned thousands of miles\, from her birthplace in China to her present home in the US. This migratory experience has deeply influenced her choice of subject matter: women who are immigrants and refugees. As an Asian immigrant and a woman artist\, there’s a shared bond\, a collective experience of navigating new cultures\, which forms the core of her creative exploration. \n\n\n\nAt the age of 15\, Yidan began eight years of rigorous training at China Central Academy of Fine Arts – the most prestigious art school in China and earned her Bachelor of Art degree in Chinese Painting. In 2005 she earned a master’s degree in Philosophy from Renmin University of China and a MFA from Idaho State University in 2024.
