(Working from the Masters) – Level 1 – for 14 to 17 year old
Weekly Class – 12 Weeks
Tuesdays, September 5 to November 28, 2023
6:30 – 8:30 pm
On the first day of class, students are expected to bring their materials and an example of their artwork to share. In this class students will make watercolor paintings from great artist’s work, from life, from imagination and from photographs, students will focus on learning how to use watercolor paint and paint in general to illustrate both realistic and abstract images and concepts. We will discuss and learn to avoid the common problems that novices experience in watercolor painting. Students will be expected to work on their own as assigned during the course on paintings started in class and assigned outside of class, and if they do so, they should expect to complete one painting from an artist they admire, one landscape painting and three other works that are superior in quality and composition to the work they were capable of when starting the class. By the end of this class, each student will have developed a regular sketchbook practice and have refined and improved their watercolor painting ability.
