April 11: UNDERPAINTINGS: CREATING DRAMA AND MYSTERY
Limited to those who have taken the Beginner class or have previous experience.
If you want to move away from tight, controlled paintings with hard edges everywhere…learn to create underpaintings on wet or damp paper for the unpredictable, translucent effects watercolor is famous for. We’ll start with simple still life and landscape, using new techniques that you can then apply when painting from your own photographs.
Examples: https://www.pinterest.com/jiaconetti/wcwet-paper-examples/
Fee: $150 for 3 in-person sessions, via cash, Zelle or Venmo.
Time: Tuesdays, April 11, 18, 25 from 6-8:30 pm in the STUDIO

paper. Your Pinterest preferences and suggestions are welcome! The

PAINTING SKIES AND WATER on ZOOM - 3 weeks, $120
Dates: Wednesdays, May 3, 10, 17

May 2: PEOPLE PORTRAITS
Back by popular demand. Once you learn the simple basics of facial proportions, creating a portrait becomes way easier. We will learn to measure and sketch a random imaginary face, then practice painting features and layering washes. You’ll trace a portrait of your friend or family member in class, from a simplified photo you’ll send me.
Examples here https://www.pinterest.com/jiaconetti/wc-zoom-portraits/
Fee: $150 for 3 in-person sessions, via cash, Zelle or Venmo.
Time: Tuesdays, May 2,

May 23: BIGGER SIMPLER LANDSCAPE
AKA Big Crazy Landscape, AKA Semi-Abstract Landscape. Back by popular demand: Learn to get looser with larger brushes, larger paper (if you like), and lots of water. We’ll also try using liquid acrylic inks. All it takes is a little courage and washable clothing. This is for Intermediate Level -- those who have taken the Beginner Class at least once, or those with previous watercolor experience.
