Description: In this course you will learn how to paint light effects using watercolor paints by painting a still life image of flowers on a windowsill in watercolor. You will learn the basic skills and the principles of color theory, and apply them in order to create a variety of light effects rendered in still-life images of water, reflections, and transparent or reflective objects. The course is designed to teach absolute beginners how to draw and paint with enough confidence to continue on their own, but offers instruction and techniques that students who have already experimented with watercolor may find enlightening and instructive, and may not have learned in another beginner watercolor class.
Class Format:
This is both an in-person course and an online course. I will be teaching students in-person in a classroom while also teaching students online via Zoom. It will take two two-hour sessions to complete this painting.
I will record the course while I’m teaching and post the video afterward for everyone who took the course (both online and in-person), so you can reference it later. It may take me a few days to a week to get the video posted.
This course comes with limited email support. After you complete the course you can email me with questions and I can give you email critiques if you send me photographs of your work.
Current Course Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2024 from 6:00pm-8:00pm and Thursday, June 13, 2024 from 6:00pm-8:00pm
It will take two two-hour sessions to complete this painting.
IMPORTANT: This course is being taught from Montana, and we are in the MOUNTAIN time zone. If you are taking the course online, please make sure you adjust accordingly if you are in a different time zone.
If you pay for this course, and then find you have a scheduling conflict and cannot attend on that date, you apply your ticket to a future course of the same price.
Text:
There is no textbook for this course. I will teach you using my own extensive experience and expertise spanning more than three decades. However, there are several texts that I will recommend in the course for students who would like to continue to develop their skills, but no books are required for this course.
Technology:
If you are taking this course online, you will need a computer that meets the Zoom app requirements. You will need a working webcam, microphone, and speakers (whether built-in or separate).
