9:00 AM-12:00 PM
Students will be introduced to painting the light with watercolor using large masses and temperature through the block study method. First they will see examples of finished studies and a demonstration of a block study and then students will be asked to do a block study on their own. I will use guided participation methods and on-the-spot corrections to assist students in making appropriate color choices. Once students have completed their studies, they will participate in a group critique to help them identify successful studies and to provide detailed feedback and support where needed. Student will then repeat studies and apply what they have learned about expressing light through mass and temperature to a landscape. Terms such as Local Color, Brilliance, Mass, Warm Notes, and Cool Notes will be introduced and reinforced.
Materials List:
If you are already an experienced plein air watercolorist bring your travel kit. If you are new to plein air watercolor painting, I would suggest purchasing the Windsor Newton Cotman Travel Bag. This kit will give you a variety of colors. Or if you are a late sign up or are on a budget I suggest getting the Artist’s Loft Watercolor Pan Set of 28 colors.
The Windsor Newton Travel Bag comes with brushes but you may wish to add three additional brushes, #10 round, #8 round, #0.
Additionally the Travel Bag comes with a small 4” x 6” watercolor block it would be best to have two additional medium size blocks, I prefer arches 9” x 12” and/or 10” x 14.”

Three round brushes size 2, 6, 8
Tube of Chinese White
Pencil
Eraser, I prefer the Staedtler Mars plastic eraser
Paper towels
Water to drink
Water to paint with
Small container to pour your water in for cleaning your brushes
