You will learn to capture the beauty of light through the study of light/shadow and value/color relationships in watercolor. Subjects include painting a colorful floral still life and bold gardenscapes. As a Master in the American Impressionist Society, Carr will emphasize achieving dynamic paintings using confident, loose and impressionistic brush strokes.
You will enjoy gaining skills while exploring the variety of watercolor techniques that will be demonstrated daily. Some examples are textural play with the pallet knife, glazing techniques, using salt, the value sketch and much more. Through individual instruction and critiques, students will develop their own artistic approaches. Photos will be provided but you are welcome to bring your favorites.
