Glazing and Layering in Watercolor with Miriam Hughes, Feb 26th at 1PM ET
from 20.00
Class Description
Glazing or layering colors is a fundamental technique in watercolor painting. When you paint, the transparent layers of pigment build up, one on top of the other. This layering of paint changes, enhances and deepens the values and the color appearance of the final painting.
We will create a glazing chart and also create a small watercolor using the techniques discussed in creating the chart. Working from a demo piece we will each explore out favorite color palettes to change the look of the final artwork.
Duration: Class is usually 90 minutes but may run longer depending on the number of participants. Class will consist of live demonstrations with students working along with the instruction. There will be time for questions and answers.
Please make sure you can attend the class you signed up for as we cannot transfer tuition. Due to privacy issues we will not be able to distribute videos of these live classes. Thank you.
Supply List
Watercolors. I use a variety of watercolor brands and types – tube or pan. A simple selection of colors will do.
A number #10 or #12 Simply Simmons Round Watercolor (or whatever you have as long as it is a round)
Watercolor paper – I use 140lb Arches Cold press paper. It has a tooth to it and absorbs color well, both of which are important factors to me. You can use what you have but results will vary on cheaper paper. Sometimes that is good too!
Water – any source is good, and a water container
Paper towels – about three sheets in a pile 4”x4” square will be fine.
