With faded shingles, peeling paint and rust, New England's iconic fishing shacks challenge the artist to convey the effects of weather and time. These old rustic structures make for an excellent opportunity to learn about texture using techniques unique to watercolor. Whether near a dock, pier, or directly on the shoreline, paint rustic fish shacks, bobbing boats, and rhythmic waters learning to use the play of light and atmospheric perspective to capture the essence of maritime life. Simplifying a symphony of sights will be the key to showcase these coastal gems. Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: In addition to developing skills using color, value, shapes, and edges, students will gain an understanding of texture and lighting effects.
