Description
Watercolor Painting for the True Beginner will introduce students to the delights of working with color and water. To get started we will learn about types of watercolor paints, paper and brushes. You will learn how to hold the brush and mix colors. We will create watercolor washes and learn some fundamental concepts including hue, value and saturation, warm and cool colors and color mixing techniques. Students will create a floral wreath in watercolor using the techniques we learn.
