Creative Watercolour Painting

Inspired by the painting styles of Monet, Cézanne and others, the watercolor medium will be explored through a spontaneous, direct approach. Using both traditional and experimental watercolor techniques and working from photographic images and life, students will be encouraged to capture their “perceptual impression” of landscapes, still life, nature and more.
