Intermediate/Advanced Watercolour
6 Week Class ONLINE | Available
This ONLINE intermediate level course offers the experienced painter the opportunity to further their studies in watercolour and explore more complex watercolour strategies using still-life, landscape and figure painting. We will concentrate on techniques using masking fluid, gum arabic, and Caran Cache watercolour pastels. We will use digital images of still life, landscapes and figurative poses: these images will be sent prior to each class. There will be detailed webcam demonstrations and digitals of paintings will be used as a teaching aid. Students will be asked to email their paintings prior to the class so that they can be pinned for discussion and critiques.
Base Tuition: $333
