Paint the garden in watercolor
Learn to
paint what you see and create beautiful watercolors. This class will
concentrate on watercolor washes and mixing colors. We will also talk about
composition. Suitable for all skill levels, 16+. Materials required
are listed below and included in event registration confirmation.
Supplies:
- Paints: Tube or pan paints are fine, whatever brand fits your budget. Colors
needed: Red, Blue, Bluegreen, Yellow, White (Chinese white or white gouache)
- Brushes: a couple of small, round brushes or Aquash water brushes
- Palette: Windsor Newton travel palette or whatever palette you
have is fine
- Paper: 140 pound (or heavier) cold press—make sure that it is 100% cotton!—
9” x 12” or smaller. Up to 10 pieces—watercolor can go really fast! Paper can
be single sheets or a block.
- A piece of foam core board or something sturdy if you’re using single pieces
of paper (don’t forget clips or masking tape to attach your paper to the foam
core)
- A sketchbook for practicing, mixed-media works fine
- Water containers - something small like a single-serve yogurt container works
well
- Rag or towel for cleaning your brushes
- Pencil and eraser if you like to sketch first
- Colored pencils - optional
