Plein Air in Water Media Workshop

This class will explore themes in this limited palette workshop. Water – based paints such as watercolor, gouache, and acrylics are the perfect mediums for landscape painting in the open air! Painters of all levels enjoy the ease of these portable, fast – drying, and easy – to – clean – up alternatives to oils. Explore the vibrant color and versatile application and layering methods in your choice of these media as you portray the beauty of Spring in Delaware Art Museum’s sculpture park in your own personal style. Learn techniques for choosing a limited palette, framing your composition, mixing color for depth and textural and expressive effects, and transparency effects with stained gesso as you complete a series of rapid sketches or one sustained painting.
