This workshop welcomes students of all levels who wish to explore the themes and techniques of watercolor painting. Demonstrations and critiques will help you learn watercolor techniques like layering and washes, mixing colors, wet-in-wet and design principles and composition. Still life will be available; you can also bring sketches, photos and personal imagery of your choice to explore as subject matter. Prior drawing experience is recommended.

This workshop serves as both an introduction and exploration of the watercolor medium. You will learn a variety of painting techniques including layering and washes, dry brush, wet in wet, masking, resist and experimental techniques. Artistic principles such as color, line, value, composition, form, shape and texture will be considered throughout the course. Beginners will gain basic skills and knowledge of watercolor and intermediate and advanced students will have the opportunity to review techniques and explore a personal approach to watercolor painting.
