Class Experience

In this two session class learners and the teacher together will work to plan, draw, and paint a beautiful botanical from reference. 

In class one we will look at composition, drawing from reference, plotting, and pencil work for painting. We will create color swatches and a value study. 

In class two we will use the swatches and study to complete our paintings using watercolor and inks. We will look at negative space, line weight, watercolor techniques, and light and shadow.

This is NOT a step-by-step class. Learners will be guided through the steps to be successful but will create individual art works.

Learning Goals

Learners should come away from this class with the confidence to draw from reference, have a better understanding of simplifying shape, know how to prepare a search for planned painting as well as a value study. Learners will use watercolor techniques they already know or are trying for the first time.

" With a focus on traditional media, old and new art techniques and a core understanding of the principals and elements of art and design, I strive to give learners the tools they need to not only be successful artists but to facilitate the ability to apply those tools to creative thinking and discovery outside the classroom.  In this classroom we are co-learners and we explore the course material together. " - Sharon Ross

Sharon has illustrated FOUR published children’s books, as well as a few that never made it to print. Check out her newest picture book "Refin Builds A Rocket Ship".
