Learn the basics of Balinese painting with renowned artist and teacher, I Made Moja! This is a special hands-on opportunity for students of all levels to explore the traditional techniques and motives used in Balinese painting from the Batuan region with a master artist.
This class will focus on signature shading techniques using Chinese ink, as well as techniques for layering with watercolors. Supplies needed are size 1 and size 6 watercolor round brushes and 140lb cold press watercolor paper of whatever size you work best with. We will supply materials for students who do not already have their own, though please bring what you can so that there are enough materials to go around.
