Getting to Know the Medium of Watercolor

The Beginner Watercolor Class is intended for students new to the medium. A general understanding of art concepts (drawing, perspective, etc.) is assumed, but not necessary. The watercolor class is taught through instruction, exercises, in class painting and homework (optional). The class focuses specifically on understanding the medium, its application and specific techniques needed to create completed paintings. The use of color and texture in the compositions is also discussed throughout the course.  Three or more individual compositions will be covered including both seascapes and landscapes. The analysis of paintings will also be covered along with art history related to the compositions and techniques. Nineteenth century American (specifically William Trost Richards), British and European artists will be discussed throughout the course.
