Gain Confidence in your brush work and your color mixing capabilities. Artist and experienced instructor Kim Caldwell, will provide you with a fun, encouraging experience in this class for beginners. This is a series of classes to help the beginners paint in watercolor with joy and an adventurous approach.
This beginner’s class is designed to help you build your confidence in handling the beautiful medium of watercolor. Kim loves to teach and encourages her students to use the techniques and skills they learn from her, to develop their own style in their paintings. She will teach you how to control the amount of water to paint ratio so that you have deep darks, brilliant lights and subtle grays. Reference photos can be filled with more information than is needed to present your viewers with your impression of the beautiful scene. Kim will help you build confidence in deciding what to leave in and what to eliminate.
Description: Color mixing in this class is made easy with the use of a limited palette of colors. You will learn how to paint hard and soft edges and how to use your brush to create texture. Your lessons will also cover composition, design, and how to create depth in your paintings. Kim creates a safe environment in her classes to paint without fear and the freedom to explore.
