This watercolor course will cover intermediate and advanced watercolor techniques designed for those with some previous experience. Self-expression will be encouraged through design and the creative process. Color theory and methods of applying paint will be explored. A step-by-step demo along with individual (and a group) critique will be conducted throughout the course. Students will be encouraged to work from a still life, their imagination or from a photograph. We’ll explore mastering brush strokes, correcting mistakes, and under painting, as well as, how to apply flat and graded washes, create dry brush effects, work wet-in-wet, and use different materials such as mediums, masking fluid and gouache.
