Watercolor II: What Does Your Brush Say? with Alice Struck
Mondays, October 19, 26, November 2, 9, 16: 1-3:30 pm
For students with some experience. We will explore the five watercolor concepts, which are unknown or underrated, yet the very things that succeed in original expression. Class 1. Nocturnal Scenes: Painting with night colors and saturated brushstrokes Class 2. Painting Deep: Mastering negative painting to create depth. Class 3. Pattern against pattern: the dynamics of motion and layering. Class 4. Special Effects: Resists, stamping with handmade stencils, additions of media (shaved pastel chalk, oil pastels and other textural elements). Class 5. Words and Watercolor: Creating a merged artwork with poetry, quotes or personal mantras and integrated watercolor painting. See below for supply list.
