Beginning Watercolor with Carol Moore

Just starting out with watercolor and want some help finding your way? Curious about the possibilities? Through demonstrations, exercises, and artistic experiments designed by local artist Carol Moore, you will be introduced to this delightful medium and learn fundamental watercolor techniques. Throughout the class, participants will engage in a series of focused activities, starting with smaller lessons that delve into concepts such as water control, color mixing, understanding hard and soft edges, executing a flat wash, experimenting with wet-into-wet washes, tonal value studies and mastering gradient techniques on a smaller scale. Building upon these foundational skills, participants will then apply these learned techniques to create a larger 11″x15″ painting, allowing for a seamless transition from theory to practical application. Emphasis will be on making discoveries, learning techniques and developing confidence. Supplies will be provided.  Whether you’re a budding artist or an experienced painter looking to explore a new medium this is a place for you!

This activity is made possible through a grant from the Central Minnesota Arts Board, thanks to funds provided by the McKnight Foundation.”
