Class Experience

We will explore the beauty of watercolor and create these summer birch.  Students will learn to use soft and hard edges and achieve light and shadow.  We will discuss what colors to begin a watercolor with, and how to achieve a translucent painting.  We will have some basic colors to use and students will be encouraged to choose their own background colors.  A little color theory is always thrown into the lesson.  My teaching style is to give enough instruction to keep everyone on track while letting each person's individuality be expressed as well.

Learning Goals

Students will create contrast using negative space while creating a watercolor painting.
