BEGINNING WATERCOLOR CLASS with Liz McConkey. 5 sessions – Thursdays October 10, 17, 24, 31, Nov 7 from 1 – 4pm, Fee: $130 + materials.
Students will explore, yet have directives and exercises to perform every class in pursuit of these goals. Each class will have a practice a objective for the period. When finished, participants will work on other practices they are interested in, or practice more of the days’ objectives. Class 1 – visit watercolor brushes and paper, create a color wheel, practice complementary color mixing and visit general color theory. Class 2 – Practice washes, add and lift paint, to better understand how to mix and change colors. *Bring 3 similar objects, but different in size. Keep it SIMPLE. Can be 3 vases or bowls for example (or use mine). Class 3 – Use India ink with watercolor wash. Discover gray scale in watercolor. Expand to student choice. India ink is slightly staining, so dress accordingly. Class 4 – Experiment with masking. Use “windows” to help frame work. Also match pieces of color in reference work. Finish unfinished work and plan own work for next week or use still life available next week. Class 5 – Finish class projects. Practice a still life this last session combining knowledge from previous sessions. Still life focus will be on Florals.
