Class 19. Fruit & Flowers in Watercolor with Geoff Allen | Athenaeum Music & Arts Library | School of the Arts

Tuesday–Thursday, 10 AM–4 PM March 25–27  (3 Days, 18 total hours of instruction)  La Jolla Studio  $375/395  Geoff begins all classes with lessons in watercolor handling, notably the relationship between brush mixture and paper moisture and the concept of connection.  During the daily demonstrations, the class will cover color mixing, brush handling, and contour drawing skills. Painting from life gives you the opportunity to observe directly from nature different forms of light and surfaces. There will be a focus on impressionistic interpretations of fruit and flowers through the use of watercolor techniques to express form: wet on wet, wet on dry, dry brushing, splattering, lifting, and most importantly adding water.  Ideally students will learn to see nature in a new way.  Materials: Geoff will share a materials list after registration.
