ADVANCED WATERCOLOR: Shadows, the Artist’s Friend. Details to be announced.
This structured class is for the advanced and intermediate watercolor painter. Shadows are often the most interesting and colorful shapes in a landscape painting. They transcend subject matter and can link disparate design element. Shadows are malleable and can be adjusted to improve the design that nature provides. Jim will demonstrate the watercvolor techniques and design considerations appropriate to the exploration of landscape shadows. Specific topics include still-life, mountain, trees and structural shadows. If your paintings are bogged down in static and common shapes, this is the class for you . Bring your usual watercolor kit and be prepared to work 11x15 (2-4 each session).” Call Jim at 303-449-6324 for more info.
