Illustrative Poppies in Watercolor
June 17th • 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Study the iconic Poppy Flower and its expressive texture through Watercolor and graphite in this exciting Watercolor workshop!
Our class will focus on mastering Icelandic Poppy Flowers' shape and color intensity in a wet-on-wet paint application and mastering fine detail and outlining with graphite & charcoal.
We will discuss the differences related explicitly to wet-on-wet watercolor painting and create natural bleeds and blooms on the paper's surface. We will use our brush to create loose petals and use our graphite to finish our overall composition.
Students will work on (1) 11" x 14" study.
Students will work with warm-up exercises specific to wet-on-wet painting and discuss proper techniques for mixing color, using water, and building our composition.
Students will receive a workbook to follow with the instructor during the class!
This class is a great building block for those students who have taken beginning watercolor classes and are interested in exploring different tools and finer details achieved in watercolor painting.
