This class will be geared for the complete beginner who has had little or no experience in watercolor, but continuing students are welcome (all projects will be new). We will work on a number of skill-building exercises and small paintings, including washes, dry brush, sgraffito, spattering, masking and texturing techniques. We will explore how much water to pigment to use to create tints, glazes and deep dark shades, together with an introduction to color mixing. There will be step-by-step demonstrations in each class to help you learn the basic techniques of painting with this vibrant transparent medium. A materials list can be found here.
