Explore Watercolor: Paint Your Own Night Sky
Class experience
In this one-time class designed for students to experiment with watercolor, students will briefly review 4 essential watercolor painting techniques (dry on dry, dry on wet, wet on dry, and wet on wet) to understand their effects in watercolor painting. Our Night Sky painting makes significant use of wet-on-wet, which is an unpredictable but really fun technique to use. We will talk about basic color theory and how to mix paint to create different colors, as well as different ways of holding a...
Students will learn 4 essential watercolor painting techniques (dry on dry, dry on wet, wet on dry, and wet on wet), see their effects in watercolor painting, and experiment with various kinds of washes, layering color, and different ways to hold your brush to achieve different effects. Learners will also learn about color, value, and tone. We will talk about basic color theory and color-mixing with paint. Finally, we will cover the importance of clean-up and taking care of your brushes.
Learners will need: Watercolor paint (any kind or brand will work -- ideally, the kit will have the three primary colors as well as white and black, but if the kit doesn't have white paint that's totally fine; we can also use yellow for the stars. Some kits don't include white paint because of how watercolor is used; we'll talk about this in class. Whatever you have on hand will work for this class.) 1 or 2 brushes (the one that comes inside the kit is fine; ideally learners will have a thicker brush and a thinner brush). More brushes are totally fine as well; I encourage exploration and experimentation. Watercolor paper (we will need 2-3 sheets of any size for class. Larger paper is recommended, but any size will work. Note: regular drawing paper doesn't absorb water and paint as well as watercolor paper does and can be more messy due to extended drying time) Masking tape, washi tape, or painter's tape. We'll use this for masking the outside border of our painting surface. (Note: scotch tape usually sticks too much to the paper to be able to peel away when the paint is dry and can tear the paper, so I generally don't recommend it in this case.) A cup or small dish to hold water to rinse brushes A flat surface for painting (should be somewhere that would be OK if paint or water accidentally spilled; you may want to put down paper bags just in case. Watercolor tends to be an easy cleanup, but sometimes paint can get messy.) Paper towels (just in case of spills) Your learner is also welcome to wear an apron or smock if they would like. I will sometimes teach in an apron or smock as well.
