Artists have long praised watercolor for its luminosity, freshness, and spontaneity. But who hasn’t boldly tried mixing those vibrant colors on the paper and ended up with what watercolorists call ‘mud’ – an uninspiring brown or grey? This course teaches you to make your watercolors as vibrant as those beautiful tube-colors, but with endlessly more variety through mixing. The course is aimed at both beginners and intermediate watercolorists. No previous knowledge and experience is required. The course concerns the entire process from drawing, planning, to painting, and finishing touches. You will learn the basic techniques of watercolor and apply these techniques to subjects of your choice, from still-life and abstract paintings to landscape and portraiture.
