VIRTUAL DROP-IN: GEOMETRIC SERIES IN WATERCOLOR
Wednesdays | October 6 | 1-2pm PT
All ages and skill levels
In this workshop we will paint a series of geometric objects with watercolor: cubes, pyramids, cylinders. We will study how light interacts with these objects, using the technique of layering color washes to render shadow and light. We will also look at how to use painter’s tape to create defined edges and lines. Participants will paint from the still life I set up on camera, or from an object selected from their own home. A cup makes a good cylinder, a box makes a good cube.
By painting these objects in a series we will create a pleasing array of many perspectives on a single subject.
This workshop is a part of two-session Watercolor Constructions Series on October 6 and October 13.
Materials:
- Watercolor or mixed media paper
