This class is geared for the complete beginner who has had little or no experience in watercolor.
We will explore how much water-to-pigment to use to create tints, glazes and deep dark tones, together with an introduction to color mixing. We will work on a number of skill-building exercises and small paintings, including the main 3 washes, dry brush, sgraffito, spattering and lifting out techniques. We will work on making objects feel 3-dimensional (value and form) and will briefly touch on perspective. There will be multiple step-by-step demonstrations in every class and individual attention if needed. Images and line drawings are provided via email before class. Materials List will be provided. Registration closes Mar 2.
