Summer Shells in WATERCOLOR

July 30th • 6:00pm -8:00pm

Learn to sketch and capture the beauty of shells in this summer watercolor class!

We will draw inspiration from the various shapes, sizes, and colors of shells. This beginner-friendly class will focus on capturing the beauty of these found objects in small life-inspired watercolor studies.

Students are encouraged to bring their favorite shells that they have collected as we discuss how to plan, sketch and execute an illustrative style of watercolor sketching. We will discuss specific watercolor techniques for capturing shell details, color matching, and other tools and mediums that can help us capture detail.

This beginner-friendly class breaks down the foundational techniques of wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry watercolor painting to achieve different layers and levels of detail when representing something from life.

Students will work through warm-up exercises and will create a small 6”x 9”study of their chosen Shells.

EXPERIENCE: This class is A beginner level but is also an excellent option for intermediate students to build off their previous knowledge and want to express a more realistic approach to wet-on-dry painting
