Color Field Painting With Watermedia

In this 10-week class, we will focus on color as the primary element in abstract expression. Using examples of prominent color field painters from the mid 20th Century to the present, we will examine the use of color in terms of its emotional and spiritual content.

We will also look at the relationship between color and music, and how both resonate with us on a personal level. Each class will focus on a different color theory principle starting with a color exercise and finishing with a painting.

All demos will be done with watercolor, but students can participate with any watermedia. Classes are supplemented with slide presentations, demo recordings, handouts, and group critiques of work done in and out of class.
