Working with basic issues of light and color, students will explore the unique processes and characteristics of water-based media, with emphasis on transparent watercolor and acrylic painting techniques and materials. The class examines both traditional and experimental techniques (glazing, wet on wet, wet on dry, lifting, masking, dry brush and alla prima, as well as staining, pouring/color dropping, printing and texturizing with other materials). Students will use their investigations and experiments with new painting media in the development of their own art work.
