“Make Your Watercolor Landscapes Sing”

Instructor: Leslie Berry

This mini workshop is designed to show students how to fully utilize the qualities of the watercolor medium – transparency, fluidity, spontaneity – to create more dynamic and vibrant landscape painting. To achieve this objective, we begin by simplifying and composing the subject, creating a value study, and with a limited palette, planning how and when to use techniques such as wet-into-wet, flat wash, graded wash, brush line and dry brush. Leslie will help each student practice these concepts and techniques on one of their paintings.
