The Illuminate event format allows the viewer to get to know the artist during the first half of the event through an interview that reveals intention, background and the motivation of the creator. During the second half, we are able to scrape through high points of an artist's process and materials, with just enough input to get your wheels turning over how this might elevate your own work.
For Matthew Bird's Illuminate event, we hope the broad strokes of the varnishing technique he uses was enough to get you intrigued to try something new in watercolor! To get the most out of his method, take an online course from Matthew. His next varnishing workshop is coming up fast and will be held on Saturday, February 12, 2022.
