Watercolor: Abstract Leaves
Jan Heaton
Tuition $1,275
Code D1532-24
This workshop invites students to find the balance between spontaneity and control within the watercolor medium. Students explore the evolution of abstract form from the observed reality of a singular leaf or a group of leaves. Each student completes a series of work that explores one central subject, focusing on the line, color, structure, and form of leaves. Various experimental techniques and tools that can be utilized to create a finished painting are demonstrated. Activities include presentations of visual images, discussions of abstract painting, and student-instructor consultations.
