Demystify the watercolor process through a series of demonstrations and guided exercises in washes, layering, wet into wet, and color mixing. Learn the concepts and strategies used in traditional and contemporary watercolor that are used to create spontaneity and transparency. Working with natural subjects and also the landscape, you'll learn the various techniques used to portray light and shadow, volume, space and texture. This is a great course for those who seek an introduction into watercolor or for those who would like a refresher.
