2 Tube Watercolor Series: #4 Botanicals with Green + Magenta taught by Jinjer Markley
November 19, 2024 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm
IN PERSON with a 60 minute lunch break
Do you feel trapped by the compulsion to mix realistic colors, only to make paintings that seem muddy, dull, indecipherable, or discordant? As a painter you have the power to use color intentionally to make a painting clear, attractive and emotionally evocative. This is hard, but a great way to start building this skill is to start with just two tubes.
This class includes some practical color theory, and a ton of nitty gritty painting advice on a variety of topics, such as palette options, analyzing a subject, using a paintbrush effectively, and so much more! Great for beginners or intermediate painters struggling with gaps in their basic painting knowledge, Also great for advanced painters who want a deep understanding of two new-to-them colors
Class 4: Botanicals with Green and Magenta
Beginners: Pthalo Green YS and Quinacridone Magenta
Intermediate/Advanced: any green, and any cool red, magenta or reddish-purple
Materials for each session:
- Prepare a photograph to work from (see the title of each class for a category). For the botanical weeks you could also choose to draw from a live plant.
- For each class, bring two tubes of paint. See the class description for the general category. For beginners, I suggest a specific pair of paints. For intermediate or advanced painters, this is a great opportunity to experiment with new colors!
- Round watercolor brush, size 4-10.
- Cold press or hot press Watercolor paper , 8” x 10,” preferably on a block.
- Palette: Any palette with at least 10 wells total will do, but I prefer one of the following:
Classes have a limited space available and some fill quickly. Decisions about whether to cancel a class or add another session are typically made one week prior to the start of a class. If a class you are interested in is full we will have a waiting list and will contact you if a space opens up. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment (fewer than 4 registrations) all registrations will be promptly refunded.
