Exploring Fall Through Innovative Watercolor Techniques

Instructor: Margaret Saylor, botanical artist and instructor

Explore the rich subject matter of autumn while learning new techniques for mixing paints and layering graphite and watercolor on vellum. Discover how this process emphasizes the details of the subject matter while giving it a more realistic and earthy tone – perfect for capturing the essence of fall. We’ll review techniques for the development of working drawings in a sketchbook; preparing a preliminary graphite drawing in preparation for a painting; and selection of materials and painting styles.

NOTE: This course will be taught online using Zoom. Students will need access to a computer that has a built-in camera or a smart phone. The instructor will use a combination of live demonstrations and short pre-recorded videos during this online workshop to demonstrate techniques and review concepts. During each three-hour session students will have the opportunity to ask questions and submit their artwork via email or share it live during the class for review by the instructor.
