Day 1: Intro — how watercolor works and why.

Paper and brush choices.

3 basic techniques:

• Washes: gravity, water, pigment, “the bead”

• Wet blending, wet in wet; use simple compliments for best results

• Dry brush. Nearly dry pigment, dry paper, light touch

Play around with a variety of materials. Try different textures. Create a post card.

 

Day 2: Layers. How and why layers work.

• Going from light to dark.

• What does it mean to save your whites?

• We will try masking, saving, and lifting.

Create Landscape with washers

 

Day 3: Color choices. If you know your colors, it’s gonna be lots more fun.

• Warm,

• Cool,

• Opaque,

• Transparent,
