Landscapes that are loose, minimalistic and contemporary is what this workshop is all about. Let those beautiful colors flow and do the work. Create landscapes that are simple in color and design which are pleasing to the eye.
Carol will begin by demonstrating for you the technique of wet in wet and also a dry to wet method to really get the paint flowing.
You will practice the timing of water and paint. Plus the all important paint-to-water ratio needed to have the colors flow into organic shapes. This will help create the contemporary landscape. This approach can be used in all your watercolors and is especially helpful with florals.
We will be working small (8×10 and 5×7), the easiest way to begin learning this style of watercolor.
