Class Description
Description
What you'll learn in this watercolor class:
This class is a good fit for the beginning artist, or one who has been painting with watercolor or fluid acrylics and looking to move to the next level. Learn to "dance" with these mediums under a master of traditional and experimental techniques.
Who should take this class:
Paint
Avoid cheap, student grade paint. Recommended watercolor brands are Daniel Smith, Windsor & Newton, Holbein, American Journey or LUKAS ~ the instructor uses a basic palette of LUKAS Colors:
Watercolor:
Acrylic:
Paper
The instructor recommends to use Arches paper. 15”x22” (half sheet) or 18”X24”. Comes in lots of weights and textures, even blocks which are great for newbies. He prefer Arches 140# Cold Press, but there is a smooth Hot Press and Rough (uh, rough, DUH!). Both have downfalls over CP and he can tell you why in class, as well as why there is NO STRATHMORE PAPER ALLOWED!
Brushes
