INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED with Linda Hutchinson – Learn to express yourself with this versatile medium! In this class, students will explore various methods of using watercolor paint to create works based on direct observation and design aspects. The course will begin by painting simple forms and progress to more complex layouts. We will hope to complete 5-6 small paintings during this class. Goals include: increasing spontaneity while painting; learning to problem-solve during the painting process; and learning to self-critique. Design elements and principles will be utilized to guide studies. Possible subjects to include: still life, interior, plants, architectural elements, human figures, portraits, and landscapes.
