Two Tube Watercolor: Botanicals taught by Jinjer Markley
August 11 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm
IN PERSON There will be a 30 minute break for lunch
Great for beginners or intermediate painters struggling with gaps in their basic painting or color knowledge, or for advanced painters who want a deep understanding of two new colors.
Perhaps you’ve tried watercolor but find it unpredictable or frustrating to use? Or perhaps you feel trapped by the compulsion to mix realistic colors, only to make paintings that seem muddy, dull, indecipherable, or discordant? In this class we will gently build our watercolor knowledge and color skills by painting with just two tubes. You will feel more empowered to use properties like translucency, lifting, tinting strength and granulation and use color intentionally to make your paintings clear, attractive and emotionally evocative.
This Session: Green and Magenta + Botanicals
Materials:
PAINT Beginners: Pthalo Green YS and Quinacridone Magenta Intermediate/Advanced: Any green, and any cool red, magenta or reddish-purple
BRUSH: Round watercolor brush, size 4-10.
PAPER: 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: Jack Richeson Porcelain 5 Well Slant Palette, Jack Richeson Plastic 8 Well Slant Palette or similar.
REFERENCE IMAGE: Find a clear, easy to see photograph of a plant with an easy-to ignore background. Print or copy the photo at the size you want to paint, on regular printer paper.
