Imagine letting your creativity loose by using special design techniques to edit and abstract your subject. Composition, shapes, colors, textures—all come into play as we edit and simplify our landscape or still life subject by concentrating on shapes.
Alex will paint in watercolor, but the methods are the same for all media. Tune in prepared to paint along—just watch-- as Alex develops her subjects.
Alex will use basic primary colors:
reds
blues
yellows
a green
burnt umber
NOTE:
Please be sure to Download & Sign-Up for Zoom ahead of time, it's free! We will send you the Link to the session the day before the session. Late registrations will receive the link the morning of the session. You will be able to join the waiting room at 9:30am to ensure you are set up and ready to go. Attendees will receive a copy of the video on Monday afternoon following the demonstration, which will be good to re-watch as many times as you want for up to 30 days.
While this is a demonstration, and not a class, we do encourage you to ask questions throughout the demonstration because odds are if you're thinking it, someone else is too. We ask all participants to stay muted unless asking a question so that we don't pick up any background noise and ensure participants can hear and that our recording is clear as well.

This class is perfect for students of any level.
