WORKSHOP
W8
Saturday morning
Matthew Brehm
Watercolor is a magical medium that can produce luminous results – like stained glass on the page. It can be both delicate and bold as a means to capturing light and form. Watercolor is also extremely efficient, allowing us to work quickly and expressively on location, provided we understand and practice how to:
mix and apply a wash
move it smoothly across the page
take up the excess wash
and let the wash dry completely.
Supply List:
Watercolor pad (9” x 12”) or sketchbook with watercolor paper (size A4).
Watercolor brush – round #8 or larger (waterbrushes will not be suitable for this workshop).
Watercolor palette with mid- to large-sized mixing wells.
Fresh watercolor paint (preferably from tubes) – some version of the primary colors as a minimum (yellow, blue, red).
Small, wide-mouth water reservoir.
