Lighten Up / Loosen Up
Workshop | Available
Practice color mixing and creating textures. Discover the importance of “timing” in watercolor, water/pigment ratio, developing basic drawing skills, and doing value sketches. Learn how watercolor is different from opaque mediums, as well as a few “tricks” to use working from photos. Although design principles are of utmost significance, in this class, exposure to the tools and physics of watercolor is the focus.
