About this class:
Goals of the course would be to:

• setting up your workspace
• knowing the characteristics of your pigments
• mixing colors from a limited palette - 3 different ways!
• brush strokes
• composition - value sketches, color schemes
• the importance of variation- lights and darks, warms and cools, and hard and soft edges, size and distance between objects
• exploring watercolor techniques -glazing, wet in wet, softening edges, lifting, masking, scraping, salt, brush work, washes
Supplies: NOTE, the club will provide a small kit to those who are new to watercolor and have never taken this class. It will include one #12 brush, one sheet of Arches wc paper, a small palette and some paint. Students who are not new to wc should bring their own brushes, paint and paper, as listed below.
