This Intermediate / Advanced Watercolor Studio is intended for students that are well versed in the medium of watercolor. The studio focuses specifically on utilizing watercolor to the greatest effect of the medium itself. There will be an emphasis on experimentation needed to determine the techniques best suited to specific scenes and compositions. The students will also learn how to plan/stage more complex compositions, new ways of using classic watercolor techniques and new approaches to detail. Four or more individual compositions will be covered including seascapes, landscapes and scenes containing manmade objects; the students will be asked to bring one photograph of their own for a final project. The analysis of paintings will also be covered along with art history related to the compositions and techniques. Nineteenth century American, British and European artists will be discussed throughout the course.
