Class Description:

This course is intended to understand the nature of watercolor.

Using different materials leads to different results and students will learn and explore by seeing what suits their vision and individual style. General rules of how and when to use wet on wet, dry brushes and how to build color by layering are covered. Once we are familiarized with the medium, then applying that knowledge to create representational images. Students are guided to strengthen the work by managing the weak part of their work such as lack of contrast, imbalance of color harmony between warm and cool, creating depth using aerial perspective and depth to the object using the bleeding technique.
