Watercolor Basics: Layering & Depth with Lindsay Stripling
Couldn't load pickup availability
FRIDAY, MAY 22, 6:30 - 8:30pm PT
This is an in-person workshop that will be held outside at CfM Art Room:
4035 Judah St, San Francisco, next door to our shop!
In part two* of our three part series on watercolor basics, we will focus on layering and building depth in your paintings. We’ll explore how to work in transparent washes and opaque details, allowing each layer to dry fully in order to create richness and dimension. You’ll learn how to control value, develop contrast, and use glazing techniques to slowly build complexity without muddying your colors. You will leave with a series of layered studies and a stronger understanding of how to create depth and atmosphere in your work.
* You do not need to have attended Part 1 to join Part 2! They are designed to stand on their own.
