Tom will take you on an exploration into the realm of using a variety of watercolor applications to create textures, color surges and intricate patterns. Learn firsthand how you can partner with these techniques, controlling them without sacrificing the beauty and energy they add to your work. Subjects will vary from intimate natural scenes and still-life to dynamic urban landscapes. Weather permitting, both plein air and studio painting will be taught. Technical lessons will include: painting watercolor impasto with inks in watercolor washes using brushes and brush alternatives. You will learn to apply glazes, masking agents and opaques. Additional, color choices, subject simplification and design strategies will be emphasized.
