Beginner Watercolor

ID : 1074   
« back to classes page
CourseGraphic Watercolors can be wonderfully fluid and also quite controllable. We’ll learn basic techniques including application of transparent washes, glazing on dry/wet underneath washes, transparent and opaque colors, values of washes including how to create darker values and still maintain transparencies, creating hard and soft edges in watercolor, negative space painting, and painting the volume of shapes. We’ll paint still lifes, landscapes, and perhaps even a portrait. Learning watercolors is rewarding, fun, and inspirational in opening the doors to new ideas.
