The spontaneity and luminosity of watercolor on paper is
unsurpassed and can be used to enhance and personalize your prints. This
class will engage you in a laboratory of techniques and practice
designed to make you comfortable with the watercolor medium. You will
begin to set up experiments that will lead you to your own unique visual
language. Methods of critical analysis, color literacy, contemporary
painting issues, and basic painting methods and skills will be
introduced. I will demonstrate color flooding, wet into wet, color
luminosity, soft and hard edges, and special techniques to create verve
and visual interest in your work.
