Acuarelas desde nivel principiante hasta avanzado: proyectos de arte divertidos y guiados, ejercicios

Welcome to Mrs. D's Art Room where it is always a good day when you are learning something new. 

In this weekly club, young artists will use step-by-step instructions to draw and paint simple, fun, and easy watercolor artwork using advanced techniques and new drawings each week!

There are a couple of basic ways to paint with watercolor. The wet-on-wet method is typically used for painting landscapes, simple skies, or soft watercolor washes because the effect gives us a nice flowy look that can be applied in different ways. We’re adding wet paint to a wet surface.

Explanation of how the class will work:

First 10 min: Drawing using easy-to-follow steps mostly basic shapes. While drawing, I will share some fun facts about the animals

Next 1/2 hour: Coloring or painting using lots of techniques, textures, brush strokes, and mediums too (We will mostly use round, flat, and fan brushes) 

I will share a few advanced watercolor techniques such as water wash, wet-in-wet, layering, and lifting color. We will use flat and round watercolor brushes while painting. I will use a dual-screen so that kids can see me drawing with them throughout class.

If learners are familiar with using canvas they are welcome to use canvas for this painting. I will use watercolor paper for this demo project.

The young artist will be encouraged to make their artwork unique and complete it independently if they are not finished in class. I pace our class based on the student’s abilities, so we will go slower or faster depending on how they are doing. 

No experience is needed for this class; learners will follow my directions.

Hope to see you soon!
