Fresh, nuanced color, compositional use of white space, and calligraphic mark-making, create inspiring watercolors. A classical form of watercolor is done as a step-by-step process, light to dark, big to small. Big sable (mink) wash brushes, and Japanese natural-hair brushes to draw with, add to the luxury of the experience of watercolor painting. Learn the mechanics in the first two classes as you paint from the still life, and proceed to the expression of spirited paintings of vitality while documenting your travels, your environment, and memorable events. Please note: no class 1/20.
