Introduction to Watercolor for Botanical Illustration
Description
4 Saturdays: October 26, November 2, 9, 30 | 10 am - 3:30 pm
Building on the concepts introduced in Color mixing, students learn how to create basic shapes by using flat and graded washes to portray light and shadow. Through the painting of spheres and cylinders and a small botanical painting, students will gain experience controlling water, pigments, and brushes to create simple forms. Furthermore, students can expect a broadening of their artistic vocabulary by learning appropriate art terms and putting them into practice through articulating their creative process, observing, and assessing their own work. A combination of group discussions, class exercises, and out-of-class work emphasizes preliminary work and critical thinking in the visual art making process.
