Watercolor Techniques and Landscape Study

A Creative Aging Initiative

An introduction to Watercolor, its history, attributes, and various techniques.

Highlighting a watercolor masterwork to demonstrate the potential of watercolor, classes will cover:

• 15 watercolor techniques that will be demonstrated and practiced through hands-on learning, including washes, dry brush, lifting, blooms, wet pater, dry paper, etc.
• Exercises designed to demonstrate specific techniques to create skies, clouds, water, fields, trees, flowers, hills, and textures

Participants will then utilize these skills to choose a landscape image to replicate in watercolor. The images will be sketched and painted, and at the end of the class, each participant will go home with their very own completed watercolor landscape!

Teresa Gennarelli is a dedicated and creative Art Educator with 27 years of teaching experience. Her teaching objective is to inspire people through the visual arts, while encouraging them to courageously take artistic risks in an environment where failure feels safe and experimentation is encouraged. This provides them with the opportunity to realize their unique creative selves and to gain confidence to freely express their ideas through the visual arts.

Please note: The class is for 10 participants and takes place over six consecutive weeks. Each class will build on the skills learned in the previous session, culminating in a complete piece of art work. Supplies will be provided and no previous experience is necessary.
