The traditional technique of watercolor painting uses thin transparent paints resulting in ethereal artwork achievements. Modern watercolor provides artists with substantial flexibility regarding both their artistic tools and creative approaches. The American Watercolor Society allows artists to use egg tempera along with acrylic paints and gouache together with casein and many types of water-based media yet they prohibit pastels and collage techniques.
The suspension of pigments in water-based binding agents gives watercolor paints their unique characteristics which suit model painting methods. When artists extend watercolor boundaries through mixed media experimentation they gain extensive opportunities to explore diverse new artistic techniques. The combination of watercolor with pastel and ink and collage results in a highly addictive artistic technique that produces expressive outcomes.
The artistic development of a painting includes breaking down elements followed by changes and stacked additions and possibly the dismantling of components. Through this method the artwork acquires strength from its independent development. Your membership in the Community of Professional Artists makes you watch the artwork transform while you enable its development.
Our watercolor course includes flat washes as the fundamental technique for students to learn. The technique starts by preparing a proper mixture of pigment before using it to wet paper. A sloping surface receives the pigment through horizontally placed bands that slightly overlap each other from the top down. The wash requires waiting until drying before disturbance. Any disturbance to a drying wash will produce unwanted outcomes.
ART CAMP this summer welcomes all participants to learn watercolor techniques.
