Alan Braley
All great paintings have 5 essential elements: color, shape, space division, style, and technique, but technique is not the ultimate goal. The goal is to make art.

We’ll explore transparent watercolor, create interesting shapes, capture good space division, and develop each artist’s individual painting style. You’ll find out how to adjust and exaggerate color and temperatures for impact, and design a dramatic composition around big shapes of color. For students with previous painting experience.
