LINE, WASH AND WATERCOLOR Finally, watercolor made simple. Line and Wash was once a very popular method of painting in watercolor. Artists used many different tools at their disposal to create entertaining drawings then add the watercolor. Essentially, the process of making a watercolor painting is easier when starting with line. The detail information for the eye is presented through the entertaining line that varies with density, texture and width. The act of painting beco...mes less laborious when we are less concerned with shapes that interlock. Students will learn how to paint on soaked paper to achieve cleaner and more saturated colors. Day 1 will open with Paul explaining this technique and how to whittle the match. Students will practice with the tools and then we dive into the days drawing for the painting, Barn on the Hill. Paul will guide you through the rough drawing in preparation for drawing portion of the painting. This will be a vignette painting to add interest following some basic guidelines Paul will provide. He will bring samples to discuss. All the supplies necessary will be provided from paper to paint. Feel free to bring your own equipment if you desire.
