Painting - New Paths in Watercolor: A Workshop with Rick Bennett
This workshop is for intermediate or advanced artists with some experience with the basics of watercolor who are looking to expand their skills. The focus will be on moving the paint, advanced layering to build textures and refine values, creative correcting skills, and how to make colors intricate and interesting. I will teach how to create depth in the painting and give volume to objects. The students will learn ways to evaluate and adjust at the final stages of your painting. Successful paintings by watercolor masters will be examined for learning skill sets. We will discuss what creates your style. Painting methods will be demonstrated, and students will have lots of painting time with individual assistance. Photo references will be provided but participants may bring their own. Students should plan to bring a bag lunch, break will take place from 12-1pm. Students bring their own materials, supply list prints on receipt. 1 sessions. Instructor: Rick Bennett.
Students will supply their own materials to work with. Feel free to contact Rick with any supply questions. See contact info at bottom.

If you already have Artist Grade paints of different colors or sizes of watercolor brushes different than those suggested, bring those to the first class. So if you already have a warm red you don't have to buy the specific Brand and color listed below. We will be discussing paints and brushes at class.
