A 3-hour workshop focused on techniques to preserve and recover highlights in watercolor. Learn how to use watercolor to create paintings filled with light using methods to avoid, mask, lift, scrape, and paint highlights. The workshop will balance instructor demonstrations and independent student application.
This is an intermediate to advanced level class. Students should not only be familiar with their paints and supplies, but also have a working understanding of basic watercolor skills like washes and water control. “Required Supplies” on the top of the materials list will be used to execute the techniques and the “Suggested Materials” below are just an outline of what Jill will be demoing watercolor with. Students are expected to bring their own materials so please feel free to bring the watercolor supplies you normally use.
(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled make up date will be 3/1. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
