Watercolor III

In this class, students will use every technique explored in Watercolor I and II to plan and execute a finished project. 

Topics covered will include sourcing a reference, planning composition, and effectively using shadow and light.  Students will also learn specific techniques to accomplish personal goals in their work.  Individual attention and proposed solutions to any roadblocks will be given in order for all students to utilize their skills to use them in future paintings. 

This class is “putting it all together” so students can grow and feel confident in their painting knowledge and abilities.
