In this 5-week watercolor class, we will focus on painting trees, leaves and flowers in the
negative painting technique. You will be challenged to shift your perspective and concentrate
on the surrounding negative space, rather than the subject itself. This will be perfect if you are
a beginner, because you will learn and practice wet in wet techniques, creating flat and
variegated washes, and glazing with transparent watercolor. If you are an experienced
watercolor painter, it will be a great review of techniques, and you will learn to create paintings
with depth, dimension and harmony.
