Online on Zoom | 4 Tuesdays | 1pm-4pm Arizona Time (*always on Mountain Standard Time) | Real time class | Recording available for 2 months
Capture a moment in time of the restless, thundering, incessantly rolling waves crashing onto sandy beaches - the atmosphere thick with salty spray and the call of sea birds. Putting all this energy onto a single two-dimensional piece of paper will be our goal!
- Water movement – the “anatomy” of an ocean wave
- Paint the white of the foamy white wave using rainbow colors
- “Painterly Realism”, a loose approach – working toward the “mindset” of plein air painting - rather than “copying” a photo
- Color theory, simplified – using “color as value” (as seen in all three North Light books plus magazine articles) - color mixing
- Negative painting lessons and exercises for the watercolorist
- Composition and Drawing
A photo will be provided for your use, but you are always welcome and encouraged to paint from your own reference material whenever you wish. You will receive photos and other class materials electronically through e-mail.
This Zoom class will be interactive, with demos, instruction, supplementary material and critique. Class time will be structured, yet open enough to accommodate the artistic spirit within us all. All levels are welcome and encouraged to attend. The only prerequisite is an attitude of joy in the act of painting!
