This comprehensive course delves into the vibrant world of watercolor painting, focusing on its unique ability to capture volume, light, and texture. Through guided exercises and projects, students will learn to manipulate watercolor's fluidity and transparency to create depth and dimension in their paintings. The course will also explore the interplay of light and shadow, teaching students to use watercolor's subtle gradients and washes to depict the effects of light on various forms and surfaces. Additionally, students will discover how to convey the tactile qualities of different materials, from the smoothness of glass to the roughness of stone, through various watercolor techniques.
The course will also investigate the exciting possibilities of combining watercolor with other drawing media. Students will experiment with integrating pen and ink, charcoal, colored pencils, and other materials into their watercolor paintings, discovering how these combinations can enhance texture, line, and overall visual impact. By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of watercolor's expressive potential and the confidence to use it independently and in conjunction with other media to create captivating works of art.
