Class Experience

In this intro to watercolours class learners will explore some of the key techniques used by watercolour artists. We will examine these techniques, test them out in class, and take about how they can be used in our paintings and painting practice. I will share some of my favourite tips for bringing watercolour into drawing and how this versatile medium can be used in a variety of styles. 
Learners do not need to have experience in watercolours, this is a great class for beginners! 
Techniques we will cover include:
Wash
Wet on wet
Resist
Drybrush
Desaturation 
Lifting
Painting direct
Drawing experience will be helpful but not required. 
Learners can expect teacher demonstrations, in class exercises, and links to reference for extended learning.

" 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 is a professional fine artist/illustrator who has been teaching studio curriculum on Outschool for 5 years . Prior to bringing her art and art technique programs to Outschool she taught in schools, community centers, and private studios dating back to 2006. 

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". 

When she isn’t sharing her passion for the arts with learners on Outschool Sharon is creating work in as many different mediums as she can get her hands on.. Sharon's classes are rooted in Reggio philosophies and strives to equip learners with the tools they need to be successful in AND outside the classroom.

"Fun facts: I have lived in two countries, four states, one province,  and ten cities! 
I am a mom to two young boys have an endless supply of crayons and paint. 

Welcome to my classroom! I look forward to learning with you."
