700 Water Media (Acrylic and Watercolor)
Alan Braley
All great paintings have 5 essential elements: color, shape, space division, style, and technique, but technique is not the ultimate goal in painting. The goal is to make art. In this class, students will explore the world of color and shapes and how to apply paint. Not all paintings are going to hit the mark either technically or expressively, but if your goal is clear and your resolve certain, you will enjoy the journey every step of the way. We’ll explore transparent watercolor, create interesting shapes, capture good space division, and develop each artists’ individual painting style. Students will work at their own levels. You’ll find out how to adjust and exaggerate color and temperatures for impact, and design a dramatic composition around big shapes of color. Materials list will be provided at the first class.
