About the Class

Instructor: Maria Kaprielian

So you’ve played with watercolors for a bit – now what? This class will concentrate on the individual watercolorist’s continuing journey in the medium, reviewing techniques such as the right water-to-paint ratio to get the hard and soft edges you’ve been looking for.  From fast-and-loose to a more controlled approach, we’ll explore how to “design” a painting, addressing composition, focal point, tonal variation and color theory as necessary to create a successful work.  The use of additional materials such masking fluid, salt, watercolor crayons/pencils and gouache will be encouraged.
