Explore the techniques of painting with watercolor while discussing the history of the medium and the philosophy behind it.
Each week will be devoted to learning the following skills brushwork, color mixing, composition, working in series, and making skilled unique work. The instructor will provide demonstrations and guide students through the watercolor process. The class will begin by sharing work done at home, and learning how to constructively critique it.
Afterwards, the class will work on a project together while discussing the week’s reading. Projects include realistic still-life, landscape, abstraction, and self-portraits.
Readings discussed will help students in understanding why we create, they include Frederick Franck’s The Zen of Seeing, Plato‘s world to forms, Henri Bergson’s Creative Evolution, and Betsy Stroud’s Painting from the Inside Out.
All skill levels are welcome and knowing how to draw realistically is not required. You may find previous classwork on the course Instagram @arielwatercolors.
