From Watercolor to Quilt Course

Create abstract watercolor paintings using eight different painting techniques with Katie Pasquini Masopust.

Combine these techniques and multiply the fun. Play with bubbles, cups, rubber cement, masking fluid, air, gravity, stamps, and ink to produce a collection of colorful paintings. Then, choose one favorite and crop it to find the most dynamic part. Katie shows how to enlarge the area, make templates, and turn that watercolor creation into a fabulous art quilt.

Learn how to choose and place the fabrics, building from the top down, until you have a quilt that looks like a watercolor painting! The best part? No painting experience is needed, so jump in and turn yourself into a painter and art quilter—all in one exciting class!

For your convenience, this class can be purchased for online viewing or purchased on DVD.
