Painting Nature
Kristin Frost
$730
Learn to paint the flora and fauna of the natural world in this relaxed watercolor class. We will start the quarter by making individual paintings of flowers, plants, birds, and small mammals. Students will also work on 2-week projects devoted to exploring details and integrating subjects into their environments. Through live virtual demonstration of transparency layering, color mixing, and textural mark making, students will build technical and expressive skills in watercolor. Composition, process, and the specific and unique details of each subject will be explored as we discover the living world together.
