Experience the brilliance and subtlety of color this water-based paint offers. Enjoy its opaque quality, which allows for more coverage than transparent watercolor. Learn to mix colors and paint on paper or board with this clean and transportable medium. In this course, projects inspired by natural objects, still life, set-ups and models will be presented to develop your ability to observe, translate and transform through color. Discussion of practical color theory, composition, three-dimensional form and personal content, as well as demonstrations and individual and group critiques will supplement studio work. Beginning students will discover gouache to be a flexible, forgiving medium to hone skills while transitioning to color. Experienced students are encouraged to develop their technique and personal vision through class and independent projects.
NOTE: A supply list will be distributed upon registration in this course.
