Painting Creative Watercolors from Photographs at McG
Painting Creative Watercolors from Photographs at McG
For painters, photographs can be SO helpful; sometimes they can be a bit of a curse too! So, let’s explore using the photograph to help us not be chained to the eye of the camera, to unlock the visual world, and paint watercolors more creatively in this five week course. Bring some of your favorite photos, maybe your camera, smartphone, I-pad/tablet … and of course your standard watercolor supplies. There will be lots of demos and feedback to help each student achieve their goals in the class. For daily new beginner to more advanced students who have had at least some experience with watercolor painting or with drawing.
HEALTH & SAFETY: As there are no local or statewide health alerts at this time, McGuffey has NO mask or vaccination requirements. We do ask that, If you are having active symptoms of a airborne communicable illness or have been in close contact with someone who does, that you please: 1) stay home for a week or 2) that you wear a mask and practice some mild social distancing in class that week. (See missed class info below.)
MISSED CLASS: Any of us may have to miss a class session because we all lead complex lives. If you are going to be out of class for personal, life, health or any other reason, please let me know ahead of time if you can. I may be able to set up a digital link (via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype) to facilitate your virtual attendance. If that doesn’t prove possible or suit your situation, I can certainly record a video of the major class session activities (my demo, presentation, critiques, and/or photos of student work in progress, etc.) to send you.
