Beginner's Watercolor: For Those Who Think
They Can't Tyler
Junior College Continuing Studies West Campus (903) 510-2900 (currently not
scheduled)
Statement of Interest:
For decades, watercolor has
been accused of being the hardest medium to paint with. Not so! Join
us as we discover how to control… and how “not” to control this
interesting medium. There are no mistakes in watercolor, merely
opportunities to try something new! Experience the vibrancy and
fluidity it offers. Course Description: This course will expose the student to the uniqueness
of watercolors and the tools used to produce paintings in this media
with the goal of encouraging the student to learn basic skills to pursue
watercolor painting independently. The course will touch on
concept design, examine warm-up painting practices and give the student
opportunity to paint from several still life setups or references. This
course has been designed for anyone interested in learning the basics of
painting in watercolor or for anyone who wants to re-learn and review
their watercolor skills. Various techniques will be presented and
students will practice and apply these techniques in class. 20 course hours.

media collage using hand made Asian rice papers and tissues, watercolors and metallic gouache and

Non Representational Mixed Water Media Collage
(currently not scheduled)
|
|
Use hand made marbled
kosi momi
papers, Thai lace paper, metallic powdered gouache, and Japanese rice
parchments to introduce you to a new way to explore non-representational
painting with water media. We will use old standards of shape,
color and textural techniques to create a magical explosion of
color and movement in your paintings. No experience
necessary, but a working knowledge of watercolor will be
helpful. The morning session, after a short demo, will be spent
laying on initial colors and textural items on two paintings.
The drying process will happen during the lunch hour.
When students return, textural items will be removed,
collage papers adhered and the painting will be completed using
watercolor paints and metallic gouache. The entire class will be
involved in positive critiques of works produced during the last half
hour of class.
