Overview
SUMMER LANDSCAPES IN WATERCOLOR
A watercolor workshop with Chris Leeper
AUGUST 25-26, 2018
Member: $250 Non-Member: $300
Chris teaches with a fun and relaxed style. Each day there will be demonstrations and lots of one-on-one instruction. This workshop will take on the daunting problem of the green landscapes by exploring color mixing (especially green) and strategies to create dynamic landscape paintings.
Topics explored include:
- Technique fundamentals (Things I wish I knew 25 years ago)
- The first half-hour of a painting (Make it or break it)
- Values (Why value is more important than color in your painting)
- Understanding basic color theory to improve color mixing (Spend more time painting and less time mixing colors)
- Understanding color temperature, intensity and value (The key to becoming a color master)
Composition (If it feels right, it probably is right)
