Open up your creativity and challenge yourself with Big Island artist Patti Pease Johnson and her Paint Your Own Silk Scarf workshop from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Volcano Art Center.
“By learning this fun technique, it’s guaranteed to change the way you look at color,” Pease Johnson said. “Better yet, you might discover your newest passion.”
In this workshop, you’ll paint your own 8-by-53-inch scarf using three colors of your choice, which will create many more colors on the silk. Pick a main color, then choose the other two after learning about color theory.
You’ll then be ready to mix your desired colors, achieved by pre-mixing the four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). Students from previous classes described the process as “happy color accidents.”
“It’s all about playing with colors,” Pease Johnson said. “Why not reward yourself by creating your very own inspired silk scarf, and make a stylish personal statement every time you wear it!”
Pease Johnson’s artwork can be found at galleries and shops throughout the state and in collections around the world. She lives in Keaau with her family and teaches painting at her home studio.
The cost for the workshop is $50, $45 for VAC members, plus a $10 supply fee per person. Beginner and intermediate artists are welcome.
