The dynamic reflective surface of water is the secret to making water look convincing and really wet. Experiment with letting paint mix on the paper and delineating hard and soft edges as we explore reflections on the many different kinds of water. Whether painting the dance of bright, rippled reflections on a river or the sheen of images on a still, smooth pond, brushwork and rich, glowing colors will be key. Get your toes wet by working looser with watercolor! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed. Material Fee: $5.00
