Join instructor Corry Buckwalter to explore painting a landscape topic of your interest in a creating a series of thematically connected paintings. Developing a series of work is an excellent way to improve watercolor painting skills, stay motivated in one’s creative process and delve deeper into a topic that one is curious about. With Corry’s guidance, students will explore a landscape topic of personal meaning and create a portfolio of several interrelated paintings over the 8 week session. Corry will teach processes to create cohesive themes for a series of paintings. Topics might include: studies of fields of native plants, seasonal changes in a local garden, changing urban neighborhoods, discoveries from a favorite daily walk over time or documenting a specific forest that fascinates the artist, among others. A variety of painting styles will be studied with inspirations from master watercolor artists such as John Singer Sargent, Mignonette Yin Cheng, and others. In each class session Corry will demonstrate watercolor skills appropriate for all topics, as well as, one-on-one discussions to analyze and explore student reference photos and other source materials. This class offers a supportive community of artists who can share ideas, learn from each other and explore their interests together. Open to continuing students or those with previous watercolor experience.
