Introduction to Watercolors Class Recap

These watercolorists are rocking it! I’m so pleased by how open they are to expanding their comfort zones when learning to paint with such a tricky medium. I couldn’t be more proud!

Let’s take a look at their awesomeness! The left column was their homework assignment and the right column was their classwork from last night. Stunning!

We packed quite a bit in to last night’s class, focusing on a bit of color theory, how to create complimentary color shadows using the color wheel and our class project was a contour line drawing where we filled in the negative space with our selection of warm colors. We also used a few other little magical techniques on our backgrounds to give them fabulous texture!

It’s such a joy to work with these folks and I look forward to seeing them for our last class next week, where we will paint 6 various landscapes. Can’t wait!
