COLOR CLASS with Leslie Baker
Day: Wednesdays Dates: September 26 // October 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 Time: 10:00AM - 1:00PM Location: Art Barn Drawing Studio Fee: $50 per class Unravel the mystery of color mixing through practice and observation while learning color theory. We will focus on a sequential series of color mixing exercises while exploring hue, value, intensity, temperature, color ratio, balance, the interaction of color, modern and classical palettes and other color theory issues. Each class will focus on a single aspect of color and the creation of a piece utilizing experiences explored in that class. Students should use artist grade water base paints (rather than student grade) in tubes. Watercolor is preferred but gouache or acrylic can be used. If you already have the classical colors, you might want to try some colors that are new to you. In addition to the colors listed below, you will need a flat brush ( three quarter to 1”) and a good round brush that comes to a fine point (around a 6 or 8), a ruler, a pencil and eraser, a large mixing palette with wells (you can substitute plastic lids), a few plastic containers and paper towels. I prefer you use Arches cold press watercolor paper. You will need approximately 5 sheets of 22x30” cold press paper. Suggested palette: Cadmium yellow or Hansa yellow Cadmium lemon or nickel yellow Quinacridone gold or raw sienna Cad orange or indian yellow Viridian Cadmium green Manganese blue or cerulean blue Cobalt blue Ultramarine blue Phthalo Blue or Windsor blue Cadmium red medium or light Quinacridone magenta or Alizarin crimson Dioxazine Purple or Windsor purple Optional: Other colors: Quinacridones (brilliant warm tones) Any colors you would like to know more about. There is a wide range of greens, for example. You might want to try some of them if you do landscapes. Also every company makes their own version of a color. If you are curious and have a favorite color (or one you use a lot), buy the same color from a few brands. Titanium white / Ivory black Earth tones : Burnt sienna, raw sienna, raw umber, burnt umber, yellow ochre |

After a morning of critiques and information on compositional and technical issues, the afternoon session will be a work session with personal instruction.

Painting the Landscape with Watercolor with Lynn Hoeft
Day: Wednesdays Dates: September 5, 12, 19, 26 // October 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 // November 7, 14 Time: 1:00 - 3:30PM Location: Art Barn Painting Studio Fee: $35 per class All levels welcome. Working from photographs, we'll look at the best ways to paint skies, still & moving water, trees and foliage. We will experiment with color mixing (especially how to make realistic greens), how to use light and dark values to create a three dimensional effect and how to choose a format for your painting. Bring a paper copy of your photo, or one on a tablet (not a photo on your phone - too small). MATERIALS LIST Watercolor paints: An assortments of tubes, a total of at least five or six, including one each of the primaries (red, yellow, blue) plus a few others which might include a brown, a green, and a gray. Any brand is ok. Artist grade paints like Winsor Newton or Holbein are the best but some student grade paints are fine too. Pad of watercolor paper: Any brand, 8x10 or 9x12 are good sizes to start with. Brushes: Watercolor rounds are the easiest shape to work with. Robert Simmons, Princeton and Cotman are 3 inexpensive brands that are very good quality. (You don't need to buy expensive sable brushes.) One each of sizes 6 and 8, plus one larger (which could be a flat brush). Plus: A drawing board or other support to attach your paper to, a roll of masking or blue tape, a palette to mix your paints on, a water container, a pencil and eraser for sketching and a roll of paper towels or box of tissues. |
