Essentials of Watercolors - A Class at Open Space Arts
At Open Space Arts at the Stonebridge Shopping Center in Woodbridge, VA, the Prince William Art Society
Essentials of Watercolors
Saturday, May 13th from 1-4 PM at the Open Space Arts facility
Cost $50; All materials provided
This course provides an excellent introduction to watercolors for beginners as well as a reinforcement of the basics for more experienced painters. After covering the needed materials and selection criteria, we will discuss the joys and pains of watercolors and compare the relative strengths of this medium to others. We will engage in a series of exercises that will drive home the basic decisions to be made prior to starting your work as well as the techniques used during painting (e.g., planning washes, options for mixing colors, intentionally managing edges and transitions). Finally, we will apply these ideas to one or more small paintings and each student will take home a finished product ready for framing.

The class will be limited to 15 students
