Some watercolor paintings immediately draw you in-through striking color, simple shapes, expressive brushwork, thoughtful line, or strong composition. These are often the paintings that win awards and sell. Wouldn’t it be exciting to learn how to create watercolor paintings with mood and impact?
In the six weeks of this class, we will study how other artists have achieved success in creating mood in a painting. We will look at elements such as color, edge quality, composition, and value range. We’ll see how brush strokes can convey mood, too. Each week, we will practice one or two of these elements in our own watercolor paintings. We will use our own references, and our memories, to turn a humdrum scene into one with emotion and life. We’ll learn how to create paintings that exude different moods, such as peace, joy, excitement, contemplation, mystery or any mood you’d like to explore. In the meantime, we will practice several watercolor techniques.
Instruction consists of guided demonstrations, color worksheets, and individualized support. Students will have the opportunity to select their subject matter, with an emphasis on experimentation throughout the course. A comprehensive materials list will be provided.
If you’re ready to stop copying photos and start learning how to paint with emotion and impact, this may be the perfect class for you!
