Starts Monday, January 22nd (Mondays from 1:30PM-4:30PM for six weeks.)NOTE: Masks are required in this series.Each week, class will dive into one aspect of watercolor painting. Color, water to pigment ratios, composition, brush strokes and value. In the beginning of each session, students will complete several exercises on the daily topic, and then move on to their individual painting project where they will focus on the skills we have just learned. Class is appropriate for all levels.NOTE: If a class needs to be skipped during this session, a make-up date will be added at the end of the series.Materials not included.Click <a href="https://artascope.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Basic-Watercolor-Supplies-from-Deena-Ball.pdf" title="https://artascope.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Basic-Watercolor-Supplies-from-Deena-Ball.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HERE</a> for a PDF showing recommended basic supplies.ADDITIONAL NOTE FROM DEENA: Students should purchase paper in a size they are comfortable painting on. You can purchase sheets of 140lb cold press all cotton watercolor paper. Arches, Waterford Saunders, Fabriano are all great brands. Three sheets should be plenty if you do not plan on painting many pieces over 11 x 14. If you do purchase sheets you will need some kind of support board and artist tape. White artist tape ( intertape) and gator board is suggested. Dick Blick Art Materials sells a 16” x 23” 1/2” thick gator board which is perfect. If you would prefer to purchase a block of watercolor paper you can and then you do not need tape or support however you will only be able to work on one thing at a time. To me this is a less economical and more restrictive way to buy paper. Watercolor blocks have more sizing on the paper than sheets of paper.Click <a href="https://artascope.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Deena-Ball_Favorite-Watercolor-Materials.pdf" title="https://artascope.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Deena-Ball_Favorite-Watercolor-Materials.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HERE</a> for a PDF showing Deena's favorite watercolor materials.Non-members: $250 for 6 weeks.
