Class Description

Description

This course examines the language and techniques of watercolor painting.

Students will paint using a variety of strategies derived from current and historical practice.  As a medium that allows only a few corrections, the basis of watercolor must be understood. Students will learn the medium’s behavior on wet and dry paper and how to cause accidents without losing control, allowing the medium to express itself and create images that are alive.

A variety of topics discussed: life drawing & painting, nudes & portraits, tones, reserving white from the paper, volume, and color theory. The purpose is to build tree-dimensionality from a flat surface, providing life to the composition.

Core Learning Outcomes

  1. Students will learn how to understand layers, use tonal values, color mix, calligraphy brushwork, and create a composition
  2. Mise en place concept
  3. Working with an angle, controlling the puddle
  4. Wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet techniques
  5. Additive and reductive methods, correcting mistakes

There will be daily lectures, demonstrations, exercises, and one-on-one guidance to find each student’s style.

All levels of experience are welcome.

Please note: This course requires the purchase of materials. Supply list will be available upon registration.
