A Spontaneous Approach to Watercolors with Alice Struck 
Saturdays, September 2, 9, 30, October 21, November 4, 18:  9-11:30 am 
This course will present spontaneous methods of painting watercolors, including ways to set up and prepare for certain effects, using brushstrokes as shapes that reveal a spontaneous approach and techniques for introducing depth and texture to muddy areas. Our subjects will include natural and urban landscapes, adding people to scenes, and introducing movement to your compositions. We will use a teacher-presented subject to work from in each class, but students are welcome to bring their own sketches, photos and ideas to work from as well. Our schedule will follow the popular format of group critique and questions, demonstration and in-class tryouts. See below for supply list.
