Overview of watercolor for all levels of artists

A discussion of materials (paper, paint, brushes), composition and drawing, the three basic paint washes, the importance of values, color mixing strategies, masking, dry brush, and all sorts of tips and specialty textural techniques. While a variety of painting styles and approaches are discussed and encouraged, the instructor specializes in tightly controlled, realistic representational pieces. Students will work on their own projects and will receive individual attention and coaching.
