Think of this as a kind of “watercolor Lab”…we’ll have lots of ways for you to use, experiment, and catalog results. Using variables in materials, with determined constants, you’ll see for yourself how one change can enhance or hamper your watercolor results. You will take home all works and experiments, organized and catalogued in a sleeved notebook.
You will use and compare several brands and quality levels of essential watercolor supplies: Paint, Paper, Brushes. Experience how paint brands differ and affect your painting results. Mixing your paint on paper vs. palette; water-to-paint ratios; metallic paints; gouache; opacity; lightfastness; pans vs. tubes; masking fluids, whites and opaque whites.
How to utilize those beautiful brushes that you rarely use; strokes, synthetic vs. natural bristles, shapes, care of brushes, and more; Why and how the watercolor paper you are using affects results; Cold Press vs. Hot Press; 100% Cotton vs. blends; poundage-#140, #250, #300 and Rough; Pads and Blocks; sizing and prepping your watercolor paper.
This will be a great opportunity for you to be hands-on all day, using and comparing varying materials to become more familiar with how watercolor painting techniques are affected by the materials being used.
