Watermedia Workshop: Holbein, General Pencil, Legion Paper - Fee $5 (Credited)
Saturday, May 30, 2024, 2-4 p.m.

Your $5 registration fee is refunded as a credit toward any purchase in our store on the day!

Our instructor, Adam Hansen, will guide us in this hands-on workshop for artists of all levels and experience from beginner to professional. Participants have the opportunity to experiment with and learn about many different materials. The goal is to mark make and experiment with new media as we discuss its properties and many possible applications. We will focus on Holbein’s Watercolors, Acrylic Gouaches, and other offerings, as well as Legion’s Stonehenge Aqua and Yupo papers, and an assortment of General Pencil products.

Adam Hansen is a painter, gilder, and mixed media artist who grew up near the rail lines of Ohio's Cuyahoga Valley — and never quite lost the habit of finding weight in ordinary things. He works in transparent watercolor, opaque gouache, and gold leaf gilding on panel, building each painting layer by layer until the leaf arrives last. Not to decorate. To declare that what is underneath has not been covered. It has been kept.

His compositional practice is grounded in dynamic symmetry — studied under Don Victor Vargas at the Academy of Composition — and he has also worked alongside Joseph Zbukvic, Gabriel Stockton, and Marc Folly. He is currently developing his practice further through the nihonga mineral pigment tradition, with a planned relocation to Japan in 2027. He teaches the same way he paints — methodically, honestly, and with a genuine interest in helping other artists find the structure underneath their own instincts.

As a Brand Ambassador for Holbein Artist Materials, Legion Paper, and General Pencil, Adam leads workshops for artists at every level. His sessions focus on getting paint on paper — testing materials directly, understanding how colors behave, and building working knowledge that travels home with you. His work is held in private collections across America, Europe, and Asia.
