Art Club - Watercolors

In this enjoyable and creative art club, students will have the opportunity to paint landscapes, still lifes, animals, and natural objects. During spring, we will focus on painting floral designs, trees, and scenes that capture the essence of the season. In summer, we will create artworks featuring the beach, seashells, boats, and palm trees. For the fall, we will paint autumn-themed subjects such as pumpkins, apples, and farm scenes. In winter, we will portray snowscapes, pine trees, and cozy indoor settings.

Students will learn basic watercolor painting techniques, including wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, dry brush, flat wash, gradated wash, and variegated wash. We will also explore fundamental color theory through paint mixing.

This class encourages open communication; students will have ample time to talk with one another and with me. I will provide plenty of enthusiastic and supportive feedback. My teaching style is relaxed, allowing students to develop their unique artistic style.

The class is open to both beginners and advanced students who may seek encouragement. I promote creativity throughout the process and will be painting alongside the students, demonstrating techniques as we create our artworks together. I will use an overhead camera to make my demonstration, as well as having one of my own original paintings as the example piece.
