This intermediate watercolor class will move beyond primary mixing to advanced mixing and warm/cool color palettes and refine your paint-to-water ratios.  You'll practice larger-scale washes, glazing techniques, texture effects, and fixing mistakes, and refine edge control (hard and soft) and brushstrokes. We’ll study masters such as Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent to practice composition, design, light, and atmosphere. You’ll get hands-on practice and demonstrations to create abstract, still-life, and landscape pieces.

Materials to purchase for class:
