With over twenty years’ experience teaching, Instructor Denis Ponsot has designed this informative class to demonstrate all the “shop tricks” in watercolor painting. Both beginning and experienced students will learn to avoid common pitfalls and advance their abilities. The focus will be on students individually, helping them realize their full watercolor potential. Explore a variety of watercolor techniques with an emphasis on developing one’s own style. Includes demonstrations of color and design, wet on wet, and dry-brush techniques. Students choose to paint from still life arrangements, photos, or their own subjects.
Each week students will be sent 3 photos and they will vote for the winner. Denis Ponsot will then send the winning image out to the students with guidance as to what they will need for the class project.
