Two Day Watercolor Workshop w/ David Schumann
This is a class for those who have taken the beginner watercolor class or painted a little in watercolor and would like to improve their technique.
In this class David will use examples of great watercolorists in the past as well as contemporary watercolorists to understand the many techniques used to get different effects. Students will be shown different techniques and learn to see them in others’ work. Students will then practice the techniques and then produce finished paintings using other watercolors or their own photos as a reference. This is a class to try your wings in a safe and supported environment and grow yourself as a watercolorist.
This is a two day class that takes place from 12 PM to 4 PM on Saturday, November 1 and Sunday, November 2.
Students are required to purchase their own materials for this class. Full materials list can be found below.
About the Instructor: David Schumann attended Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Lyme Ct. He studied watercolor under Suzanne Seigel and David Dewey. He paints in many media, but watercolor is one of his favorites. “You can paint directly with watercolor, but to truly bring out the beauty of watercolor you must understand the techniques of watercolor, the different pigments, and how they react to paper and layer. Unlike many other mediums, watercolor has three players: pigment, water, and paper. You must use all three to be successful.”
