Watercolor painting offers unique challenges and inspiration for artists. Mastery requires an understanding and respect for the spontaneous nature of the water color medium.

In this 10 session workshop beginning July 5, students will explore watercolor properties of while creating vibrant paintings by layering color washes.

​

The first session will be devoted to painting on dry and wet paper and later sessions will focus on refining colors and deepening values through layering. Students will work from still lifes and photo references of their choosing 

All supplies are provided as part of the class fee.

Elena Cantor leads these introductory - advanced level Classical Portraiture classes and workshops.

In Classical Portraiture, students begin by making a pencil sketch of the model's head with special attention to the head's anatomical structure over 2 sessions. They then will create a tonal study of the model's head with either charcoal or oil paint.
