This class will help promote confidence and control in watercolors.
To focus, we will start with a simple breathing exersize for a couple of minutes before we start to paint.
This class will focus on developing good compositions through negative painting, focal points and a variety of tools. Students will learn about brush strokes, washes, blending and color theory. They will use watercolors to establish color and light, to work wet-on-wet, for texture, to suggest value changes, for negative painting with discussion on composition, as well as for focus and depth.
Demonstrations will be followed by hands-on experience, one-on-one asistance, and encouraging critiques.
The emphasis in this class is on individual instructional techniques to foster the student’s ability. Students will complete several small paintings in the class.
We have most materials needed for this class. More info to follow.
