Tjanting & Watercolor with Dusana Souchek

Friday, March 7, 2025 | 11:00am - 3:00pm

Learn how to use a tjanting tool to create a beautiful wax resist watercolor painting. Students will work on 300lb watercolor paper instead of fabric. The tjanting tool is dipped in a hot wax, the wax comes out of the nozzle and you follow and cover your drawing lines with wax. When the wax hardens, watercolor is used to paint the piece of art. The final step is ironing off wax to reveal the white lines separating the colors in the painting. Students can bring their own watercolor paints and brushes or borrow from the instructor (please note during registration). All other supplies will be provided.

This workshop is for the complete novice or the experienced painter.

Seats are limited. Registration will close when workshop is full.

During this time, she participated in many local and regional art shows and working on her craft in her spare time. Upon relocating to St. Petersburg, FL, in 1989, Dusana was contracted by Madeira Beach Art Gallery as the Artist in Residence. It was in this role she developed her passion for watercolors and natural Florida flora and fauna, and her work was enthusiastically acquired by many visitors from around the globe. In the early 2000s residing in Jupiter, FL, Dusana put together her first studio, allowing her to expand her artistic ventures to include teaching children and adults. Offerings included classes on watercolors and acrylics, as well as pottery and clay, and glass work. She continued to exhibit at local art festivals and fine art shows, often garnering awards and recognition for her work. Today, Dusana is based in Flagler Beach and uses her creative energy and talent to assemble and create truly unique pieces of fused glass.Taking many of the lessons learned regarding texture and form, depth and light, her glass is truly something to behold. She enjoys the challenges and rewards of being an artist, learning new mediums, creating unique pieces, and sharing the tools and technique required.
