Mixing Greens Watercolor Workshop - 4 hour workshop: Schdeule to be determined | ||
Many artists feel challenged when it comes to mixing natural looking greens, yet aren’t satisfied with the colors that are available from manufacturers; they just don’t look quite right. As a special supplement to Laura’s “Color!” class, she focuses on mixing your own clear natural greens from all three primary colors and how to alter those greens for use in a subject, so that lights and darks are homogenous. The workshop will include demonstrations, explanations and time for you to paint as well. Class format: alternating demonstrations and brief lectures with time working on your painting, plus (gentle) critique sessions. Class size is limited to 5 students to be certain that everyone receives attention. Once you have completed your registration you will be provided with materials lists and templates. Be certain to register early so you can reserve your space and come to class prepared. Contact the instructor prior to class for more session information and a materials list. laura @ lauradicus.com.
