The direct student-teacher in a private or small group interaction
promotes a much deeper and richer learning experience since the
instruction is geared towards individual concerns or needs.
Some of the Watercolor skills and Techniques** that we will focus
on in a customized class or class series of classes are:
• Deepen knowledge about watercolor brushes/paints, substrates (papers), incorporating pencil drawing, using tools, and water- reactive substances • Learn how to begin a watercolor painting (wet-on-wet vs. wet-on- dry) • Practice mixing, blending, diluting, and building up colors • Practice precision painting • Consider composition and negative space • Learn how to work in layers and create textures • Use color theory to create visually dynamic compositions • Develop personal style and techniques • Develop and create an intentional original watercolor composition from start to finish • In person art instruction can be set up on location at my home studio in coastal Southern California. A list of recommended art supplies will be provided.
