Meral Yalcinkaya

Hello! I’m Meral. I was born and raised in Istanbul. I graduated with a double major. Interior design and ceramic art in Marmara University fine Art faculity. I have undertaken many projects around the world. The idea of leaving a piece of myself to these projects sounded very enjoyable. I have attended many symposiums and workshops around the world. I trained my sweet students in the workshop we established in Istanbul. Now, I have been giving ceramics training in my own workshop for about 1 year. And I created my own ceramic brand. It calls Lori Ceramic. We are trying to grow now. I started producing personalized vases, lighting and furniture. I also design dinnerware. And I argue that details make our lives unique. You may come across my artworks in some galleries in Atlanta! For my artwork, check my instagram account! @Lori.ceramic

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Learn to paint landscapes in watercolor! We’ll discuss different techniques and approaches for natural features – like foliage, water, rocks, and distance — plus basic perspective for including buildings in your work. For most projects we’ll work from reference photos, and on days with good weather we might paint outdoors. Students are encouraged to keep their supply kit lightweight and fast to set up. Zero experience, some experience, and intermediate experience levels are all welcome!

Class space is limited.

Recommended Art Supplies:

a small block of watercolor paper

– cold-press paper is a good choice if you want to focus on painting

– hot-press paper is a good choice if you want to draw with ink and then paint

– smaller sizes like 5”x7”or 8”x10” are best for painting fast

a pigment ink pen

– single-width 0.5 (or larger) – Sakura Pigma Micron or Faber-Castell Pitt Pens are good choices

a small watercolor set

– pans are easier to transport, but tubs offer more options

Watercolor Brushes

– a reservoir brush with water in the handle is really convenient – but regular short-handle watercolor brushes are also great!

a mechanical pencil

a paper towel (or an old washcloth)

Optional Art Supplies:

artist or painters’ tape

a binder clip (or bulldog clip)

a compact travel easel (if you like to work upright)
