WATERCOLOR

3-hr workshop

with Taylor Martin

An individualized, studio art class designed to introduce you to a solid foundation in watercolor painting. Learn the basics, starting with beginner's techniques and essential skills. We will concentrate on painting beautiful color and creative designs by exploring the expressive potential of the medium. Light and color, transparency, composition and color theory as well as paper choice and brush techniques such as washes, wet-in-wet, dry brush, and color mixing will be covered. This class is best for those wanting a structured and sequential series focusing on technique, for beginners or intermediate students with some drawing experience.
