Beginning Watercolor:
Ages 16 - Adult

Tuesdays, July 11 - August 15 (6 Weeks), 6:30 - 9PM [Kate Worman-Becker]
As a class we will paint 2 exercises that demonstrate the layering process of watercolor. In addition, 4 paintings focusing on the traditional practices of linear brushwork, washes and glazes. As well as demonstrations of fun techniques like pouring, splattering and resist, that can only be achieved with the unique medium of watercolor. We will also focus on all the elements of design and how to apply them to create a solid composition.
Supply List: Estimated cost $120 - 130 Supplies can be purchased through Cheap Joe’s or Blick Art Materials (Dick Blick) You are not obligated to purchase these supplies if you have your own. Please bring them to class. Beginning book - (strongly recommended but not required) The Watercolorists Answer Book: 425 tips, techniques and solutions by Gina Rath - Can be purchased through Amazon palette - styrofoam meet packaging trays work beautifully 1 container for water - rinsing brushes - whipped topping tubs are great absorbent towel or paper towel - cloth diapers, if you can still find them, are the best #2 or 2B pencil pink eraser kneaded rubber eraser spray bottle - for ease of packing smaller is better - check the drug store “travel” section tracing paper - small pad sketch paper - small pad scratch watercolor paper or pad brushes - 1” flat, #12, #8, #4 round - Buy, at least, an intermediate grade brush or above. Student grade brushes are poor quality and achieve poor results. Prices vary dramatically depending on quality. paint - You need not purchase any paint if you have tube paint in the primary colors and a brown. This list is a good starter base. I strongly recommend paint from the tubes rather than pans. Prices vary slightly with brands. The material price estimate for this class is a brand average in tubes. Good quality paint in 5 ml tubes run between $7 - 17 depending on the color. Aureolin Yellow Cadmium Red Hooker’s Green Burnt Sienna Ultramarine Blue Cadmium Orange
