This is a two day workshop based on the structure Ms. Denson has been using in her beginners’ class. It is designed for the person who wants to learn watercolors but their schedule has prevented them from taking classes. It is a fast but tightly organized approach to learning the basics of watercolor. She will start with brushes and paper (types, blocks, stretching, difference in watercolor brushes), then go to color wheel. Students will paint their own color wheel while doing even and graded washes. Students will spend more time on laying smooth washes if that is the problem (it usually is). Then Ms. Denson covers the various ways the paint is applied to paper and how that differs from oil and acrylic. Students then learn to mix grays and other colors using the three primaries. They will be given two drawings to transfer to 8x10 paper and paint them step by step. The first works on mixing grays and other colors from the three primaries. The second painting works on graded washes and glazing, using masking fluid, planning the use of color and contrast (dark/light –warm/cool--hard edge/soft edge).
The second day would work more on laying washes, mixing and mingling, textures, composition and basic color theory.

In this three day watercolor workshop Janet will show you how to achieve luminous results by using big brushes, big paper and big values. She will demonstrate the benefits of transparent pigments,and allowing the white of the paper to shine through. Each day will be filled with demonstrations with plenty of time for one on one help. Janet closes each day with a critique time, with the use of overlays. Students are welcome to bring in works in progress for critique as well.
