Instructor: Sally Meding is a signature member of the Southwestern Watercolor Society, New England Watercolor Society and Rhode Island Watercolor Society. A native of London, UK., emigrated to the United States in 1990 after completing her PhD in Freiburg, Germany. She has a studio in Natick, MA and teaches watercolor at all levels in the Metro West Boston area. A versatile artist creating abstract and realistic works in watercolor on paper. Her artwork reflects her love of the environment and mother nature. Sally finds color fascinating, and spends much time reading about it, and typically she uses a limited palette of harmonious color, interesting shapes and textures to dramatically emphasize how she perceives our fragile world.
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 Sept 8.
