Watercolor Sketching (Spring @ McG)
Watercolor Sketching (Spring @ McG)
Explore techniques for sketching with watercolor in this 5 week course. Traditional watercolor over pencil will be our starting point but we’ll also try several other watercolor sketching strategies including the addition of inks and the use of watercolor pencil and/or watercolor crayons. When weather permits, we may sketch outdoors in/near downtown Charlottesville. Designed to be suitable for beginner to advanced students who have some previous experience in drawing (or painting).
HEALTH & SAFETY: As there are no local or statewide health alerts at this time, McGuffey has suspended all mask and proof of vaccination requirements. We do ask that, If you are having active symptoms of a airborne communicable illness or have been in close contact with someone who does, that you please: 1) stay home for a week or 2) that you practice some mild social distancing in class that week and maybe bring and wear a mask.. (See missed class info below.)
MISSED CLASS: Any of us may have to miss a class session because we all lead complex lives. If you are going to be out of class for personal, life, health or any other reason, please let me know ahead of time if you can. I may be able to set up a digital link (via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype) to facilitate your virtual attendance. If that doesn’t prove possible or suit your situation, I can certainly record a video of the major class session activities (my demo, presentation, critiques, and/or photos of student work in progress, etc.) to send you.
