Beginning Study in
Watercolor Technique
Begin a study of
watercolor painting
by exploring four
basic techniques:
brushwork, washes,
creating a range
of values and
color mixing. Plan
to complete a
painting in each of
the four meetings
focusing on these
techniques: (1) Sketching using a variety
of brushstrokes; (2) Landscape painting
with sky washes and foreground brush
strokes; (3) Monochromatic painting
exploring a range of values; and (4) Floral
painting with harmonious color scheme.
Students have ample time to practice each
technique before starting a painting. A
painting guide will be provided so students
can also work independently and apply
the same techniques to new paintings (or
apply the same concepts in other mediums
such as acrylics or oils). Discuss framing
and matting options and view samples.
