Wow Factor Watercolors, 2nd day of a two-day class with Glenda Drennen
See 1st day description.
Wow Factor Watercolors, 1st day of a two day workshop with Glenda Drennen
PROJECT ONE: Create an irregular checkerboard over part of your watercolor paper in light values to provide an exciting underpainting. Then impose darker, more colorful imagery of your choice over it.
PROJECT TWO: Draw a composition on a line drawing with light pencil lines. Use a small stick or twig dipped in black ink to “carelessly” trace over the lines. While the ink is still wet, spritz gently with a small spray bottle to cause the ink to “bleed” a bit. Once the ink is dry, finish the painting with watercolor.
PROJECT THREE: If you have an unfinished painting from my previous class, I would be happy to answer questions or offer advice to help you finish it.
