Materials extra.

Students will learn how a detailed drawing leads to an accurate representation of the model. The painting process will commence with a monochromatic block-in, in order to establish the proper values. Once the proper values are established, a full application of color will be applied using thin glazes of color. The objective of the workshop is to show how a methodical process increases the sense of depth and realism in watercolor paintings.

The instructor will give a demonstration at each stage of the process. There will be a discussion of materials and instruction provided, as needed.
