Introduction to Watercolor with Nancy Lane
This class is a perfect starting point if you are an absolute beginner. You’ll learn about the best materials and practices to get started painting in this exciting, fresh medium. We’ll cover setting up your palette, mixing and keeping track of your colors, how to mix juicy paint, make good brush strokes, washes, and many other essential skills. By watching demonstrations and then trying it yourself, you’ll learn some basic techniques watercolorists use in every painting they do. By the end of the session, you’ll have a few completed paintings and a wealth of knowledge. Class is limited to 8 students to allow for plenty of individual attention. Supply list will be provided. Two Sessions.

Materials not included. Most are available at the Pat Rohrer Gallery for purchase.

June Evenings, Plein Air Style with Steve BonDurant

With some luck and the late light of June, we’ll attempt three Wednesday evenings of oil painting outdoors (or in the studio with poor luck). We’ll explore the fundamentals of creating convincing landscape paintings, with emphasis on composition, value structure, depth via color temperature and atmospheric perspective, and finesse for a finish. 150 minutes of individualized instruction of how to make the most of completing the effort from the evening, plus a review of the previous week’s effort. Participants will work from their own reference images if the first session is rained out, so bring them just in case. If we can paint outside the first session, we’ll take reference photos in case we need them.
