WATERFALL

 

waterfall may 5_2010.jpg1.jpg 

This painting is inspired by my back yard stream (embellished greatly) uses only three colors: ultramarine blue and a little burnt sienna.  The method is the background is painted into a wet surface.  The rest of the painting has more detail especially when painting the negative shapes around the rocks. The water is applied on damp paper using a natural sea sponge and a flat one inch brush.

If you don’t have a natural sea sponge, you can use mine.  Also new painters can use my palette and brushes.  Paper can be purchased from me at cost.

 

You will also need a plastic water container, rags (cotton towels are excellent), sketch paper for exercises and note taking and a hairdryer is also useful. I recommend an inexpensive watercolor pad and/or Bristol from the Dollar Store – the latter takes washes very well and can be cut to size.  

 

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