Interested in Watercolor Painting? The low-key, hands-on class will focus on experimentation and learning the basic skills of painting in this medium, as well as creating a variety of abstract designs.
We’ll spend time in class practicing washes, wet-into-wet, wet-on-dry, glazing, and other foundational skills, including an introduction to color theory. We will also dedicate time each class period to sketching and painting our own abstract designs.
Watercolor paint, paper, and brushes will be provided by the instructor.
Media: Watercolors – All materials will be provided
Melanie Thongs is a color pencil artist who got started by taking a self-paced Nature Journaling course from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. She then immediately signed up for the Natural Science Illustration certificate program through the Rhode Island School of Design, which she completed in three years, with an emphasis on illustrating wild birds. Her art combines natural beauty and aesthetic appeal with scientific accuracy as she seeks to share the wonder and fascination she feels while observing and encountering wild creatures in their natural habitats.
