Learn how to paint animals or people using the luminosity and transparency that only watercolors can offer. This class will teach you how to develop proportion and create structure with the under-drawing, as well as how to approach watercolor with greater control using beaded washes and varying brushstrokes. To better understand color theory, students will learn how to find the right color through layering paint rather than mixing. (This class will use photographs as reference.)
