Overview
This course is based on watercolor, tempera and gouache techniques, with a focus on modern painting techniques and classical structure. Form, value, and proportions will be studied as means of determining space, shape, volume, and composition. Emphasis on transparent watercolor techniques include the exploration of mixed media. Learning various brushwork techniques, interaction of shapes, color, and negative and positive space will be thoroughly investigated to create vital, vivid and fluid watercolors. The aim is to reenforce each student's level of observation, interpretation and critical ability, to allow a natural and skillful approach to watercolor painting.
