Course Description
First, let me clarify that this is not a hands-on painting class. This is an information class meant to help you better understand the paint and materials involved in watercolor painting, and it contains information that you aren't likely to find anywhere else.
Watercolor painting at its core is built upon pigment, water, and a painting surface. So many classes teach techniques without the painter having a complete understanding of these foundational elements. Using her approachable, easy-to-understand teaching method and by incorporating stories, animation, and live demonstrations, the artist gently guides the viewer through topics such as What is paint? What are the properties of pigments? How do the properties of water influence the painting process? And how does the painting surface or brush material influence paint application? Upon completing this course, viewers will feel more confident about learning new techniques, they will have freedom to explore their own artistic voice, and will be better able to problem solve as they move along in the medium.Who this course is for:
- This course applies to both new painters as well as experienced painters. For the new painter, it will make the learning process much easier. For the experienced painter, it will give you a deeper understanding of the medium.
- This is not a watercolor technique class. Instead, this is intended to give viewers broader, deeper understanding of the medium.
