A TASTE FOR POSSIBILITIES!
March 28 - May 9, 2018 (No Class on April 11)
12:30pm - 3:30pm every Wednesday
COURSE DESCRIPTION: We'll have fun while expanding our horizons! We'll do quick studies and long. Sometimes we'll paint upside down! Yes, it really works! We'll pay attention to massing details for greater impact, exploring dramatic values, line and shape, color subtleties and color vibrancy using a range of full color and neutrals. The course objective is to step outside our comfort zones in order to bring something new to our work. LEVEL: Intermediate to Advanced Supply List – PAINTS: If you prefer to use your own color palette please be sure to have available complementary colors that produce a pure gray/neutral shade when mixed. I'm currently exploring Stephen Quiller's color palette in my own work. I will primarily be using the following colors: Cobalt Blue and Ultramarine Blue, which complement Permanent Orange and Cadmium Orange; Cadmium Yellow Light and Naples Yellow, which complement Ultramarine Violet; Cadmium Red Medium which complements Richeson Turquoise; Quinacridone Rose which complements Sap Green. PAPER: 300 lb. or 140 lb. Arches Rough watercolor paper or similar high quality paper. We'll be working on quarter sheet size. (approx. 11x14) You may work larger if you prefer. BRUSHES: 2" wash brush, 1" flat, 1/2" flat, #12 round, #8 round, #1 rigger, creative "brushes" such as sticks, feathers, etc.
