Exploring Watercolor Pencils: Levels II & III(E0267B)

Adult Workshops

Milena Hughes

As we further explore this medium, assigned objects in nature will be introduced to maximize personal compositions. Learning to render in this and thick lines will focus attention on what we visually perceive as light, gravity and weight and how these important aspects pertain to painting. Each student will work at a personal pace within the two levels of this class with instruction adjusted as necessary.
