Watercolor can be bold or subtle. In this course, students will create their own Arcimboldo portraits, paint botanicals and plein air landscapes, as well as create sophisticated patterns while developing control and respect for this most spontaneous medium. We will begin with making paintbrushes, and students will be introduced to various weights of paper and qualities of pigment. Wet-on-wet techniques and other more controlled approaches will be explored, as well as figure painting from live models, still lifes and personal interpretations of interesting themes.
NOTE: A supply list will be distributed upon registration in this course
