Spend a Saturday afternoon exercising your creativity by giving watercolor painting a try. Explore brush strokes, water to pigment ratios for value studies on wet and dry paper, with small flat and/or graded washes applied to a flower image (for our main project). If time allows, we will learn and practice techniques for painting a sky-scape with clouds. All techniques will be demonstrated step-by-step and assistance and encouragement is offered continually during the class. The instructor will provide the materials. Note: A $15 materials fee is payable to the instructor in class. Limited to 12.
