CREATING LIGHT AND ATMOSPHERE Transparent Watercolor All Levels Everything we see in life is simply the reflection of light. In this workshop, we’ll explore the effects of light on form in terms of color, value, and the subtleties of texture and weight. Through various layers of transparent pigment, you’ll learn to create a greater sense of luminosity and depth to your paintings. By laying down many large washes as an underpainting we’ll slowly develop the details in continuous layers of color and value. Dry brush textural elements are added last. Through the exploration of space/shape relationships, you’ll develop a personal viewpoint that transports the viewer into the mind’s eye of the artist allow the painting to speak and be felt. The influence of Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer, and John Singer Sargent will be evident in this workshop. Joel R.
