Watercolor Techniques
Watercolor is not usually thought of as a bold medium. In fact, it is not always thought of as a stand-alone professional medium. In this camp we will challenge that myth using different techniques like layering washes, masking for contrast, and fearlessly applying bright color combinations. We will practice controlled, wet-on-dry painting, as well as loose wet-on-wet application for different effects. We will also learn the importance of preparing and planning each piece in order to gain confidence in controlling the medium without compromising the beauty of its natural flow. Ultimately, artists will come away with a new appreciation for the limitlessness of watercolor. This camp is great for teens 13-18 yr olds looking to dive into the world of watercolor!
