This six-week watercolor class will be an exploration of watercolor techniques using color, texture, line and value done through the pages of a sketchbook. You can use this sketchbook in a variety of ways: 1)Daily journaling - a fun and compelling way for you to capture the world around you. It can be a record of your daily thoughts, a travel or dream journal, a collection of to-do lists or meaningful quotations from favorite authors or poets. 2)Work on your drawing/drafting skills: You can record likenesses of people, pets and the daily places you frequent. Drawing and painting can be a precious visual journal of your life and what is important to you. The sources of inspiration are endless. The best part: there are no mistakes to be made and countless imaginative ways to fill the pages of your sketchbook. And using watercolor makes for quick, colorful sketches and fabulous happy accidents on your pages. Supply Fee: $45 Each participant will be supplied with a high-quality Watercolor Sketchbook with over 30 pages of cold pressed, 100% cotton, acid-free watercolor paper. Please bring the following supplies: - *A large Watercolor palette–recommended: Robert Wood palette–available at David Art- Three watercolor brushes: Sizes 6 or 8,12, and 16. Also, a 1’ or 2” flat brush for applying washes. (Recommended Robert Simmons synthetic brushes. Cheap and durable!) - Small water sprayer for wetting your watercolors - 2 containers for rinsing your brushes, e.g., glass jar or plastic cup - paper towels - notebook and pen - drafting or masking tape - Bring whatever additional types of watercolor brushes you own; We’ll discuss all the different types and their uses in the first class. * In the first class I will give a color demonstration, using all my favorite watercolor brands to show you the wide-range of options that are available to you. If you want to wait and purchase your paints after that demo, that is fine. Just bring whatever you have on hand.
