Watercolor with Linda Benson
Advertisement
Enjoy being creative with transparent watercolors. Linda Benson’s hands-on teaching technique allows you to create along with her in the classroom. Learn something new or refresh your skills. You will learn brush techniques, color theory, perspective, gradients, and composition.
Each week is a new lesson complete with reference handouts. You will learn tricks that aren’t in the book and secrets for a successful painting.
Supplies Needed:
6 Primary transparent watercolor tubes – any Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet (traditional tube watercolors are transparent like Daniels, Holbein, & Windsor Newton, QoR, not opaque. Look for transparent tubes not round cakes)
Watercolor brushes: Round and flat assortment with 1 inch flat
140 Lb. Watercolor paper or block 11×14 (Arches is good watercolor paper but Strathmore is OK if it is 140-pound stock)
Watercolor pallet tray with cover
Bring 2 water cups
1 roll of paper towels
Small note book or mini sketch book
Pencils
Blue ballpoint pen
Pencil erasers
Carry bag
Pencil case
If you already have some supplies, bring in what you have and we will work with that. Linda will have some brushes and some supplies to share on the first day of class for beginners. Advanced students bring what you have.
