There is a fascination with the sparkle rain adds to the outdoors that entices artists to paint its wetness. Work with the fluidity of watery washes, edge control, and perspective for an atmospheric composition. Learn how to mix grays as you explore pushing color and value when umbrellas are added to the dreary gray scene. Effective use of white paper will be key to contrasting reflective puddles against a moist, blurry sky. Get wet and wild - the rain is here to help your artwork grow! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.

In additional to developing skills using color, value, shapes, and edges, students will feel comfortable mixing grays and gain an understanding of reflections and atmosphere in a painting.

WEEK 1: Chatting Figures in the Rain
