​

Intermediate Watercolor Online Zoom Classes

Intermediate Watercolor Classes are appropriate for students that have mastered beginner level watercolor and are ready to move onto learning more techniques including wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry painting. This level teaches the concepts of painting in layers (glazing)             to create depth in your paintings. This level also incorporates the building blocks to a successful painting; Color Theory, Composition and Perspective. Deanna occasionally offers these building block classes as a series where she will teach each of these subjects in greater depth though every series class touches on these subjects as you are learning other concepts.

 If you are interested in one of these series of Color Theory, Composition or Perspective and do not see it on my schedule please email me to let me know you would like to be notified when one is scheduled.

Color Theory

Tuesday, April 18, 25, May 2, and 9 from 6:30 - 8:30pm

Classes are videotaped and available for students on YouTube for four weeks after classes end. 

​

​

A background in color theory will help you be successful in your paintings and eliminate a lot of the frustration that comes with mixing the wrong colors together and creating "mud". If you have some basic knowledge in color theory this class will reinforce what you have learned and take you through the next steps of applying those skills. For those of you that are starting out with color theory, I will introduce you to the concepts of mixing colors, color temperature, what colors mix well together and what ones don't and why. We will then apply all of these skills in exercises you will want to keep in your studio for reference time and time again.

"Creating a Path of Light"

 

Wednesday, March 15, 22, 29 and April 5 from 9:00 - 11:00am

Classes are videotaped and available to students on YouTube for four weeks after classes end.

​

​

A dynamic painting consists of a full range of lights and darks. If we add a strong path of light and shadows our painting becomes even more dynamic. Deanna will guide you through finding that path of light in your photo reference

and representing it in watercolor.

Watercolor crayons added to a watercolor painting created with traditional watercolor paints gives us another technique for creating texture, color and dynamics to a painting.
