Painting a Landscape With a Plum Blossom Tree in Watercolors
Gladiola Sotomayor
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(49)
Through this one time class, students will paint a mountainous landscape setting with a plum blossom tree in the foreground, using various watercolor techniques to create the illusion of distance.
Class experience
I will teach several techniques while at the same time they see, right before their eyes, a beautiful landscape emerge from their watercolor placement on the paper. The creation of a watercolor painting is unique. It’s involves techniques that allow the paint to flow beautifully onto the paper. This class will allow the students to learn various techniques to create the illusion of depth while at the same time enjoy the creative process. In this class , I will guide the students step by...
Students will experience the wet on wet technique, the wet on dry and the use of various strokes while they create a landscape composition.They will experience the appropriate water saturation of paper and pigments, mixing the colors, the correct holding of the brush, and the hand movements in placing strokes on the paper. They will also learn the possibilities of adding more visual elements (the sun, birds, grass) to create a simple landscape while maintaining the plum blossom as the focal point in the foreground. They will experience the hand / arm movement in creating the strokes allowing them to complete the painting of a Plum Blossom Tree Theme in watercolor without the need of a preliminary drawing or sketching.
