Whether painting glass or transparent objects in an abstract or realistic form, obtaining the illusion of transparency can transform your scene, provide focus, and impact—as well as being very satisfying. Alex will be painting in watercolor using methods that can easily be applied to oils or acrylics as she will explain and demonstrate. The illusion of glass is obtained through strong value changes and attention to shapes and edges. Alex will demonstrate all of this as she paints from a set up that will be in view as she paints. You will see how colors and shapes are reflected into the glass surface and how to use line and shape to achieve transparency.

Alex will use the basic primaries 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.

SKILL LEVEL:
This class is perfect for students of any level.
