ITALIAN
WATERCOLOUR COURSE
Watercolour
is a world unto itself; almost a Zen philosophy,
without doubt an adventure and journey into your soul! However,
it's not necessary to become a philosopher to create a pleasing
watercolour, but it is definitely necessary to know the technique.
The
first lesson introduces the basic techniques:
how to use the paintbrush, how to do a wash
of colour and then another one over the top, how to dilute a colour.
You will immediately do a simple watercolour in one colour, to try
and consolidate these techniques.
In
the following lessons you will use all the colours, learning to balance
hot and cold colours and at first painting easy subjects but then
progressing to harder ones as proposed by the teacher. At the same
time you will learn to assess your work, identifying the positive
aspects and improving the unsatisfactory aspects. This course is suitable
for students who already know how to draw quite well. At the end of
the course (two or four weeks) you will be able to paint a still life
of various subjects and know enough to be able to continue at home,
personalizing your watercolours.
