Forms of Nature in Watercolor: Online
Roberto Osti | Fall I | Thursdays: Sept 14 - Oct 19
Class Description:
Learn about watercolors through a voyage of exploration into the natural world.
When observed carefully, the many forms of Nature can give us access to a hidden world of aesthetic inspiration and wonder: vibrant colors, geometric patterns, ratios, and harmonious proportions. All these things and many more can be found in the arrangement of a flower’s petals, the spiraling arrangement of a pinecone's scales, and the dazzling colors of a fish or a bird. Flowers, birds, fish, cute furry animals, fruits and nuts, and more, will be the subject of this online, six-week course dedicated to the beautiful, infinite, and inspiring forms of Nature.
