{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_4g_55y_j","product_name":"Star Fruit with Melanie Lan","category":null,"description":"Sunday, July 12, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT. This is an online workshop held via Zoom.\nInside every fruit is the potential for a Big Bang! In this summer harvest-inspired watercolor workshop, we’ll explore fruits as symbols of abundance and nourishment, portraying them as cosmic portals to the stardust within us all.\nIn addition to painting fruit forms, this class will look at how to create starry slices of the universe, using a monochromatic palette. Participants are welcome to paint with more than one color, but limiting a piece to a single color and theme often opens up unexpected creative freedoms – encouraging deeper focus, refined expression, and inventive use of contrast, texture, and form.\nThis is a space for reflection, not perfection. No experience necessary, all levels welcome.\nJoin Zoom 15 minutes early for an informal meet and greet with the instructor and class participants! Class will begin promptly at 5 minutes past the hour, so everyone has plenty of time to create!\nSUGGESTED MATERIALSThese guidelines are here to help you gather supplies from home—feel free to use alternate options you love or have on hand!\n\n\n\nWatercolor paints – Melanie will be using just one color (blue) but participants are welcome to paint with as many colors as they'd like! \n\nIf you'd also like to work with blue, feel free to use as many as you'd like and mix them up!\n\n\n\nWatercolor paper – A pad or block of cold press paper, or individual sheets (8\"x10\" recommended, but any approximate size will do!)\n\nBrushes\nWhite Gouache\nMixing palette\nOptional: table salt\nOptional: Drawing from life is encouraged if you happen to have some fruits with you!\n\nOptional: isopropyl alcohol or vodka (fun but absolutely optional if you don’t have this!)\nReference photos will be provided.\n\n\n \nABOUT INSTRUCTORMelanie Lan is an artist, illustrator, and mama bear based in NYC.
