Workshop with Ariel Freeman
Students who are seeking to paint a convincing representation in watercolor will advance greatly in this workshop, but will also attain a higher degree of insight into their subjects and the painting process.  Participants will learn the elements that make a painting work: strong design and composition, value contrasts, and creative use of color. Workshop participants will also gain knowledge about value, light, color, and the way watercolor pigments and water are used, as well as an understanding of color temperature and how to select pigments to make their paintings glow. Along with the technical aspects of painting, I demonstrate techniques and offer feedback on your work as we progress to our completed masterpieces.
