Discover the beauty in creating dimension and depth with color through Gather’s joyful watercolor lesson in Arvada!Water is something every child loves playing with. And when we paint with watercolor, we slow down—we layer water and colors to reveal what’s going on around us, outside of us, or even inside of us.Your instructor, Michael Gatlin, will guide you through your lesson. In this watercolor painting class, you will play with water and a little bit of color, giving and taking to see what can be revealed. You’ll learn about materials, color itself, and techniques such as wet-on-dry, wet-on-wet, layering, and feathering. You'll discover how time itself is an important tool in this process. Finally, you'll practice how to create a full scene, layering water and color to create dimension and depth.
The inspiration for Gather was sparked by a dream in 2019:I heard a voice say, “I gave you raw materials. Go. Make. Play.”I responded, “Like what?”The voice said, “Mud.”I asked, “What does that even mean?”Then I saw a vision of neatly organized writing products in bright yellow. I woke up in the middle of the night, wrote those exact words on my phone, and thought, “That’s another mysterious note from God.”Around this time, I was hosting a monthly prayer gathering with artists and entrepreneurs at my design studio, Little Fury Design. I called it “Gather.”This “Gather” became a sacred time of sharing, of praying, of encouraging, and of fueling each other’s spirits. It also prompted collaborations between the artists who came to pray.After the pandemic hit, I felt a stronger urge to build what Gather could be, regardless of how we could meet. It became clear that this community and collaboration we were finding as artists is actually one that is accessible and powerful for all people, regardless of background or career. A few of the initial artists agreed to share their unique crafts—as our first Gather Artists. And Gather’s purpose solidified: we are a community through making.
