Wet-On-Wet Watercolor One Day Workshop with Lisa Goren

Wet-On-Wet Watercolor One Day Workshop with Lisa Goren

Presented by Cotuit Center for the Arts at Cotuit Center for the Arts

This class with artist Lisa Goren is designed to help create a looser approach to watercolors, enable a student to feel more capable with the paints, and end “tight” painting. The workshop focuses on working with water, learning how to mix colors, understanding paper, and understanding the strengths (and weaknesses) of the medium.

 
Goals for the workshop:
We’ll work with a “wet-on-wet” approach for much of the time using many different surfaces and methods. Students will work with several pieces and may not finish any of them (because they’ll have to dry). However, the point of this class is not to have you walk out with a completed painting but, rather, with a new “box of tools” to compliment your painting style. For students who are familiar with watercolors or repeating the class, this is a great opportunity to try something different and use it on a project you’re already working on.

Daily Breakdown/Syllabus:
The class starts with going over the basics of watercolor paint and mixing colors. After several exercises on less expensive watercolor paper, we’ll spend some time investigating the differences of different weights and surfaces (hot/cold press, clay vs. paper). Students will go over the basics of outlining and structuring a watercolor painting. In the last few hours, there will be a lesson on “tricks of the trade” and then they’ll either begin a still life or work on something they have already brought in (I encourage this so that they can use the acquired tools on a subject that’s already inspired their interest).
