PAINTING WITH WATERCOLOR
with Leslie Lienau
This 9-hour watercolor workshop will take place over three evenings and is designed
for students who want to build a solid understanding of traditional watercolor materials and working methods.
During the first session, students will become familiar with watercolor paints, brushes, paper,
palettes, mixing, swatching and the color wheel. We will explore washes, brush
work, and basic handling of the medium.
In the second and third sessions, students will work from a still life arrangement.
Instruction will include drawing from life, transferring a preliminary drawing to
watercolor paper, selecting and organizing a color palette, and building a painting step
by step through transparent layers.
The workshop is suitable for both beginners and students with some previous
experience who would like a structured approach to watercolor painting.
