Class Description -

This eight-week course on painting buildings in a landscape will feature at least 4 types of buildings, with examples of how to render others. Keeping a simple color pallet, we will explore painting timber-framed buildings, stone buildings, town houses, thatch cottages, working buildings and waterfront buildings. We will complete 3 to 4 paintings with examples and demonstrations on the remaining buildings.

Drawing will be provided for tracings plus the images to work from. (Digital tablets are recommended to work from; color xerox copies are also available.) All images are my own so you may use them for shows, sales, or whatever you wish.

Materials List – Students must bring their own supplies to class.

• ·       Brushes – Wash brush plus an assortment of rounds.         
• ·       Watercolor Paints – Basic colors including cadmium yellow, yellow ochre, raw sienna, burnt sienna, alizarin crimson, violet, ultra marine blue, cerulean blue, and hookers green.

Paper: One or two sheets of Arches 140 lb. 22 x 30” cold press paper, either natural or bright white. You can cut the paper half, then half again; you will have 4, 11 x 15” sheets to work on.

I have made the drawings 11 x 14” as that is a standard mat size that will fit a standard frame. If you wish to make your piece this size, you will only get two 11 x 14” sheets  (12 x 15” for stretch area).

Other supplies to bring -

·       Soft cotton rags

·       #2 pencil

·       Kneaded Eraser

·       Palette

·       Water container and something to carry all your supplies.

·       Masking (or artists’) tape

·       Hair dryer

·       Micron 01 waterproof brown ink pen

·       12” ruler with cork (the cork keeps ink from bleeding under the ruler)

·       12” T-square (very useful for vertical lines but not necessary)

Please email me for the images after you register. I will send them to you so that you can have them drawn and ready for class. This will allow us to start painting right away!
