We will start by examining essential materials, including various types of paint, paper textures,
and brush styles, to understand how each component influences the artistic process.
Through a series of engaging exercises, students will create several small paintings, allowing
them to experiment and apply four core painting techniques:
1. Flat Wash – Participants will learn to apply a uniform layer of paint, mastering
consistency and application for a smooth, even surface.
2. Graded Wash – This technique focuses on creating a gradual transition between colors,
helping students develop skills in blending and color mixing.
3. Dry Brush – Using a minimal amount of paint, students will explore texture and detail,
discovering how to enhance their artwork with subtle brushwork.
4. Wet on Wet – This dynamic technique involves applying wet paint onto a wet surface,
encouraging spontaneity and creativity as colors blend in unexpected ways.
By the end of the class, students will have a well-rounded understanding of these techniques and
the confidence to express themselves through their paintings. Whether you’re a beginner or
looking to refine your skills, this class will spark your creativity and deepen your appreciation for
the art of painting.
