Lesson Plan for Wednesday August 31st, 2011

“SATURDAY MORNING VIEW FROM ALBERT’S WHARF GALLERY”

How fortunate I was to capture this painting first thing this bright sunny Saturday morning. The color mixing we have been doing for the past few weeks will be incorporated throughout. There are no earth tones used anywhere, only the three primaries.

Brushes: 1” flat, #10 round or any suitable brush of your choice.

Colors:  Full Palette.

(The brand I use is DVP, DiVinci Brand Artist’s quality but any brand will do).

Paper:  Quarter sheet of 140lb of any good quality watercolor paper – my personal favorite is TH Saunders – either 200lb or 140lb.

You will also need: Water Container, rags (cotton towels are excellent), sketch paper for exercises and note taking and a hairdryer.

Class is limited to 15. If you need more information or if you have any questions call 823-1905 or email ja864@yahoo.com

Cost: $25 (no tax)

The color lesson this week will be how to mix color without it dying (but if it does, how can one bring it back) and about pigment quantity in relation to the amount of water used. Also this early lesson will demonstrate dry brushing and fusing color to create the “perfect” edge.
