In April we will be painting Monet’s Garden, focusing on water, trees and flowers. We’ll work from a photo, a value sketch, and a color palette before we start painting. After warm-up exercises I’ll demonstrate creating a watercolor painting, emphasizing the lesson for the day, and you can paint along with me. A watercolor supply list is provided, but use whatever you are comfortable with.
Friday’s class will be a drawing and a little simpler painting class, and we’ll use the same subject the following day in Saturday’s class. I’ve started a system of using the same subject two weeks in a row, with different warmup exercises each week, so class members can more easily complete a painting without feeling rushed. Those comfortable with finishing a painting more quickly can branch out with their own subjects.
Send me an email (jomyerswalker@gmail.com) if you’d like to join us for any or all of the sessions! I’ll send payment information; then the day before each class, I’ll send the Zoom link to those whose payment I’ve received. Registration closes (the payment link is deactivated) at 5 p.m. Central time on the day before each class, or sooner if the class is full.
The Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center’s website has helpful instructions for using Zoom.
