About the Workshop

The summer greens and chromatic grays of trees, and field, as well as a variety of still life set-ups will be our sources of visual content. Using watercolor, gouache or both, participants will translate what is observed into shape, value, and hue. A series of in-studio exercises will enhance fluency with the mediums and deepen color mixing ability and compositional strategies. Each day multiple studies will be completed, with the goal of describing the light environment in each. This course is ideal for those people new to watercolor or painting and those with extensive experience.
