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 covered include: life drawing & painting, nudes & portrait, flesh tones, reserving white from the paper, volume and color theory. The purpose is to build three-dimensionality from a flat surface, providing life to the human form.
Students will learn from cast figures, nudes from old masters paintings, self-portraits, and zoom live models. We will be working through a series of activities, beginning with a series of quick gestural studies and progressing to longer paintings. There will be daily lectures, demonstrations, exercises, and one-on-one guidance to find each student's style.The goal is to win the confidence and obtain definitive results in this unforgiven technique.
After class, students will receive an exclusive video recording of the demonstrations.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
