COLOR and
the WATERCOLOR PAINTER
instructor:
Vesta Kirby
level: beginning & experienced
watercolorists
|
The
radiant energy of color interaction in the
landscape will be the focus of this class.
Color is relative and is changed by other
surrounding colors in a painting. We will
look at Johannes Itten's "seven contrasts" and
include them in harmonious compositions.
Creative foreground, blurred edges, lost
and found, depth, distance, and luminosity
in landscapes will be discussed. Traditional
watercolor techniques and expressive brush
strokes will continue to be demonstrated.
The "song
of color" will be discovered by both
beginners and advanced watercolorists. Weather
permitting, we may also paint outdoors on
some evenings. Materials list provided.

LIGHT
and SHADOWS with WATERCOLOR
instructor:
Vesta Kirby
level: beginning & experienced
watercolorists
By popular
request we will focus on the dark side
of light -
the shadows. Light and shadow create form.
How does one paint the color, size and
shape of a cast shadow and local shading
of an object? We learn to create the mood
of a painting with sparkling highlights
and rich darks. Working with a variety
of still life objects we will strengthen
skills for seeing and painting shadows.
Landscapes will be included later in the
session. Watercolor techniques will be
demonstrated as we explore this illusive
appearance in painting. Material list provided
upon registration.
