Painting Elements of Landscape Six Week Watercolor Class
with Jerry Aissis
October 2nd - November 6th Wednesdays 10am - 12:30pm
Members: $80 Non-Members: $95
This class will emphasize painting rocks, trees,
water and buildings that can be used to create a landscape. Emphasis
will be in mixing colors directly on the paper, learning to use
controlled washes and creating textures that simulate actual objects
used to paint a landscape. This six week class will have students
using photos of their own to learn the basics of watercolor and how to
push it to more than just copying the photo.

etc. Students will be shown a variety of design ideas for backgrounds
that will help to highlight their wildlife images. Some of the
photographic images needed for assignments will be provided. Students
should start collecting photos of wildlife for others.
