Bridges echo stories of countless footsteps that have tread on them and have been a muse for artists like Monet with his famous Japanese Bridge and Waterloo Bridge paintings. Work with the horizon line, perspective, and gradation to portray bridges that command attention by virtue of their size and dignity or blend seamlessly into the landscape. From a handsome pedestrian footbridge to a resilient stone bridge, learn to use subtle color relationships and the play of light to create captivating passages that evoke a sense of journey and exploration. On this creative quest, cross the bridge to new artistic growth! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: In addition to developing skills using color, value, shapes, and wet-on-wet, students will gain an understanding of hard and soft edges and atmospheric perspective.
