This course will explore the basics of color theory and brushstroke technique. The student will learn different brushstroke techniques to develop personal style and artistry. This course requires no previous art skill or experience.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Try to wear clothes that you don't mind ruining!!!
All supplies could be bought a very low prices or at a a high expense, depending on the quality of supplies you decide to purchase. I do not believe students need to buy expensive supplies. Any brands, quality, or style will do. The most important thing is to dedicate time to pratice to improve technique.
PAPER:
One of the supplies you might need at a higher quality will be the watercolor paper. Most watercolor paper; standard 140lb white, cold press, Acid Free Strathmore (Brand name doesn't matter!), 11" x 15" 300 series watercolor pad or size 9: x 12". No rough textures if possible
- Sketchbooks are not required but are recommended
BRUSHES:
Must be brushes for watercolor. Natural hairs are the best, but synthetic fibers work well.
#2 & #6 round that form a pointed tip
#1 wide flat, straight square edge
WATERCOLOR PALETTE:
A white plastic container with large mixing areas (will be helpful during watercolor activities) and snug fitting covers, or just a white plate (to start with will be ok) and a plastic bag to cover the plate. You can also use plastic lids from coffee cans, foam picnic plates, jares, etc..
MASKING TAPE:
Needed to seal off the edges and prevent watercolor runoff.
WATER CONTAINER:
Two plastic containers to hold water (glass can work but be careful!)
