Fee: $30
THIS CLASS HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL THE FALL SESSION. WE’LL OPEN REGISTRATION ONCE THE NEW DATE IS SET.
Watercolor is a great medium for on-the-go sketching. In this workshop we’ll combine watercolor and pencil to do small studies and then an approximately 7”x10” painting. The goal is to experiment and play, not worry about making masterpieces. A Zoom invite and reference images will be sent a day or two before the start of the workshop.
NOTE: This class will be taught online using Zoom. Students are expected to be well versed in the use of Zoom prior to the start of class.
Supplies:
- Watercolor paint: use whatever you have, tubes or pans
- 6B pencil, or one close to that in softness
- Paper, a couple sheets or sketchbook, any will do but preferably 90lb weight or more with a little texture. Canson XL Mixed media pads are a good example.
- A couple watercolor pencils, any brand. I like Derwent Inktense.
- Medium size watercolor brush, I will mainly be using a #12 round.
- Jar for water, paper towels, small spray bottle with water
- Optional: General’s Sketch and Wash pencil, I will demo ways to use this.
