Watercolor classes -- Fall 2011


 
This fall I'm teaching for Ivy Tech's Center for Lifelong Learning at two locations:
  • Burton Kimble Farms in Orleans
  • John Waldron Arts Center in Bloomington
 

Patchwork Barn of Burton Kimble Farms
by Davis Metz
At the Burton Kimble Farms just east of Orleans, everywhere you look is a painting just waiting to be done. You can't help but be inspired. If you've ever wanted to try watercolor, take a look at the course description, dates, costs and registration link. Hope to see you.

 
Give It a Try: Beginning Watercolor
No need to fear watercolor: it's only paper, water and paint. Learn the basics of washes, values, color mixing, brushwork, and composition in this 6-week class at the Burton Kimble farmhouse. Progress will be swift as you’ll take home a painting from each class session. Feel free to bring any watercolor supplies you have to the first class; however, please don’t buy anything in advance. You will get a supply list during the first class session. We'll keep your starting costs down by using four colors, two brushes and a pad of watercolor paper. You'll be surprised what you can create!
 
Course Number: 20744-112

Beginning Watercolor -- Part II
John Waldron Arts Center
The fun continues! This course is designed specifically as a continuing introduction to this relaxing medium. Students will explore new techniques and styles, and discussion of the basics of perspective, composition, and color will continue. Students will be asked to work on projects outside the classroom, and gentle critiques and advice will be provided.
 
Note: If students have some experience in watercolor, it is not necessary to have taken Part I. Previous students may follow the instructor or bring their own paintings. For the first class, students should bring 140# watercolor paper and any brushes and watercolors they have on hand. The instructor will provide a complete list of supplies needed for the remaining classes, but please consult with the nstructor before purchasing supplies.
