Painting with watercolor is direct and fresh! This makes it an engaging and challenging medium. In this class students will learn how to see light, shadow and color temperature. We will work directly from landscape photographs that depict places that hold personal meaning. Techniques that highlight the softness of shapes, the depth of perspective and the play of light and shadow will be introduced. Students will explore the possibilities and limitations of painting with watercolor and develop a sense of necessary sequential steps and techniques that can help structure your approach.
