WATER COLOR PAINTING FOR THE SPIRIT

 

 October 23-29, 2011 Watercolor painting can become an outlet for refreshing and renewing our selves. Learning good technique is a path to good painting and the use of the brush, paper and the paint has a meditative quality that can encourage a focused spirit. This class is appropriate for beginners who would like to learn the basics of watercolor painting or for intermediate students who would like to refresh and improve their technique. The intent of the class is to improve students’ basic knowledge of the fluid medium; move ahead in skills; review ideas on how to determine solid design and composition; learn how to utilize digital photographs as reference material; and teach students how to complete their work and “gently” self-critique. All the basic skills will be reviewed as well as contemporary techniques used for texturing watercolor paintings. Daily demonstrations by the instructor are included.
