Welcome to Watercolor Workout.
This is a course designed to develop the basic fundamentals and embrace the characteristics of watercolors. It's suited for all levels from the very beginner to the experienced artist that's been around for a while. We will cover many subjects and styles which will make you step outside your comfort zone. After all, this is where great things and growth happens.
The class will begin with a beginner module. In it I will share various demonstrations for developing a keen awareness of the characteristics of watercolors. These lessons aren't to be ignored even if you have been around watercolor painting for a while.
As we mover deeper into the workout we will incorporate more advanced ideas including how to exploit 'happy accidents', wet-in-wet washes, drawing with the paintbrush and more.
There are many exercises along the way but the class ends with a series of projects that will test your skills and ability to maximize the uncontrollable qualities of watercolors.
I hope you enjoy the workout. And when you are finished with the class you can flex your new watercolor muscles.
