Description

Class Experience

In this class we will be painting a landscape featuring a large sky filled with dramatic rain heavy clouds. Class will begin with some deep breaths to help bring us into focus, followed by a warm up exercise, from there we will move into sketching and painting, which is where the real fun begins. I will show students the methods I use to create these clouds, and we will all practice together. The last portion of the class will be putting those new skills into action by painting a larger more...

The class objectives (outside of an enjoyable experience and a pretty painting) are to learn a warm up technique that can be used for any artistic project, and to learn some basic sketching and watercolor methods to be used in painting clouds.

- A few sheets of watercolor paper, at least 5”x7” in size, though larger is fine.
- Large round watercolor brush size 8 or as near as possible
- Small round watercolor brush size 2 or as near as possible
- Water cup
- Several paper towels for wiping brushes and pulling color off the page
- Three shades of blue watercolor paint (I will be using Indigo blue, Ultramarine blue, and Cerulean blue, but any very dark blue, a medium but bright blue, and a sky blue shade would be fine.) 
- Any shade of green watercolor paint that makes you happy
- White watercolor paint or gouache 
- A grey shade of watercolor paint. I will be using the color called Neutral Tint 
- Pencil 
- Eraser
- Sketching Paper for our warm up (any scrap paper is fine for this, though I will be using my sketchbook.)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
