Watercolors have been around since ancient times, when Egyptian artists used pigment and water to decorate their scrolls and tombs, and were also dominant mediums in Chinese, Korean and Japanese painting. It was used for centuries as a sketching material, considered only useful for preliminary sketches but not taken seriously as a ‘true’ painting technique until the late 19th century. This class will teach you the basics of this versatile and portable painting medium with an emphasis on technique, color mixing, brush work, composition, watercolor effects, layering and addition of pen and ink to develop your own skills and creative style. You will work on painting projects and sketchbook work daily to develop your own skills and creative style.
