Explore the wonderful world of watercolor in an open studio environment! Watercolor is a wonderful painting medium due to its vibrant and translucent nature, quick drying time, and easy set-up and clean-up. Learn the tools and techniques of the medium while painting from engaging still life arrangements or your own drawings or photographs. Direct and layered painting methods, color, brushes, and the variety of papers available will all be covered as needed. Great watercolor painters of the past and present will be discussed including John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Charles Burchfield and Andrew Wyeth. All levels welcome, from beginner to advanced and all forms of expression from realist to abstract. Beginning students will receive instruction in the fundamentals while working from a still life; more experienced students may work independently on their own projects with helpful critique and feedback.
