This online workshop will focus on the many moods and facets of painting water in the watercolor medium. Students will learn techniques from rendering a simple reflective pond to a swift moving mountain stream and everything in between. Foreshortening and the ability to suggest a flat plane will be taught when painting a meandering river or a lake. Water provides the artist with an endless variety of interpretations given its reflective qualities as well as its restlessness. The first class will start with a demonstration by the instructor followed by class painting with more painting on the second day with a critique. A reference photo will be provided, and students may use their own as well. A materials list will be provided upon request.
