Watercolor from the Ground Up - This class offers basic techniques for the beginner to intermediate painter with emphasis on drawing skills and the foundations for creating a successful painting. The class begins with an instructor demonstration and a discussion of papers, paint brands, and brushes. Students will paint a variety of subjects from life.
Pastel Beginnings – Explore the versatility of pastel - different supports and papers as well as a variety of block-in techniques including watercolor, acrylic, solvent, and direct pastel. Through demonstrations and practice, students gain experience and understanding of this popular medium. All levels are welcome.
Courageous Watercolor - The instructor will unravel the myths and mysteries of this elusive medium and bring the subject down to size. Students learn how to design and plan the painting for the most beautiful result, how to load the brush, “drop-in” one color into another for the most intense effect, and how to keep freshness and vibrancy of color through the entire painting.
Watercolor Landscape Plein Air Workshop - This workshop begins with a demonstration, emphasizing how to see the most basic forms in the landscape and reduce the complicated scene to simple masses. Learn how to choose the subject by how it translates into a successful design, with allowance made for the time you have to complete the painting.
