This course examines the language and techniques of watercolor painting from the figure. Students will paint using a variety of strategies derived from current and historical practice.
As a medium that allows only a few corrections, the basis of watercolor must be understood.
Students will learn the medium’s behavior on wet and dry paper and how to cause accidents without losing control, allowing the medium to express itself and create images that are alive.
A variety of topics about the figure: life drawing & painting, nudes & portraits, flesh tones, reserving white from the paper, volume, and color theory. The purpose is to build tree-dimensionality from a flat surface, providing life to the human form.
There will be daily lectures, demonstrations, exercises, and one-on-one guidance to find each student’s style. Investigating the model, we will be working through a series of activities, beginning with a series of quick gestural studies and progressing to longer paintings.
The goal is to win the confidence and obtain definitive results in this unforgiven technique.
All levels of experience are welcome.
