”Creativity comes in all shapes, colors, and textures.” Try something new!

This course is for intermediate and advanced watercolorists. We will learn to simplify an image into exciting abstract shapes and colours. Work on improving composition. Practice glazing to get depth and mystery.

Week 1: Contour drawing/painting (figures, flowers)
Week 2: Underpainting with gesso texture
Week 3: Monoprinting
Week 4: Develop and artwork negatively
Week 5: Abstracted landscape/figures with water pigment effects.
Week 6: Underpainting with handmade paper texture
Week 7: Compose using organic & geometric shapes
Week 8: Work on unfinished pieces & start a new one if time permits.

Each week we will get started with the foil exercises to loosen/free up –
1) We will work on a black/white copy of the image to work out the shapes or feel the shapes with charcoal, Indian Ink or cut out shapes.
2) Doodle around with water and pigments to get interesting positive & negative shapes.
3) There will be a demo before you get started.
