Instructor Karen Bishop

Learn, refresh and expand your knowledge of painting with watercolours. This will be a very hands on course with you doing lots of painting during our time together. We will explore how pigments mix and how to create clean, crisp colours. We will focus on contrasts throughout the 5 weeks:  contrasts of colour, shape, line and edges, and values that can transform any scene into a beautiful painting.

 

Our subject matter will be primarily landscape painting with 1 class dedicated to a floral composition.  Each lesson will build upon the skills we have learned from the previous week and in the final week I will include time a critique for anyone interested
