WATER COLOR—A NEW CHALLENGE #100 Edee is offering a new challenge for painters who want to expand their experience and skills, to become "all they can be"! Students will create paintings with a palette of white to black or palest browns to the deepest brown hues. Contrast of values will define the forms. This experience is an important opportunity for new students as well as for master level painters in the class. Paintings done in these palettes are beautiful! In achieving this goal we will mix 9 greys and 12 beautiful browns from Edee's color system. Edee will bring some objects and ideas to the first class and encourage students to do the same. Colored reference pictures will be changed to black and white or sepia. 140# or 300#cold pressed paper is suggested or gessoed 140# paper. Supply list on www.vaalart.org or mail upon request.. |
