Intermediate to advanced students, build your repertoire of watercolor techniques and special effects. Create illusions of light and texture, edge control, understanding cast shadows, determining values, creating volumetric space, composition, creating special effects, understanding color mixing through limited palette, etc. Genres may include landscape, portrait, still life, life painting, abstraction, etc. Individual projects are welcome. There will be both group and individual instruction, as well as supportive group discussions. Nancy will give occasional short PowerPoint lectures on various topics.

Student Supply List:

• Paper: highest quality you can afford, 100% cotton if possible, 140 or 300 lb are suggested. Some lower quality paper is useful for exercises and for paint testing.  
• Watercolor paints of your choice and type. I use tube colors and this is my basic watercolor palette:   
  
  • Burnt Sienna  
  • Ultramarine Blue  
  • Cerulean or Manganese Blue   
  • Sap Green or Hookers Green  
  • Viridian  
  • Alizarin Crimson or Permanent Rose

  • Additional colors I often have around:

    • Naples Yellow Light
    • Sepia or Raw Umber
    • Ivory Black
    • Cobalt Blue
