Join JPA for our inaugural course on opaque watercolor! We’ll start at the beginning by exploring the history of water-based painting on paper, learning about surface preparation, seeing how watercolor is made at Federal Color, and making some paint of our own. During the six week period, we will focus on making two artworks: one based on an historical work done in a water-based medium, and another original. An additional painting substrate and ground will be provided as well as pigment and ingredients for making paint.
This class is for anyone interested in learning watercolor, exploring new ways to use the medium, or developing a regular painting practice at home.
Supplies List (You may present this at St. Louis Art Supply):
Opaque watercolor pan set*
Option 1: Daniel Smith classic set of 12 half pans
Option 2: Schmincke set of 12 half pans
Option 3: Winsor and Newton set of 12 half pans
One sheet of watercolor paper (140 or 300 lb hot press full sheet)
Brushes(#00, #000, and whatever else you have)
Water cup
Rags
Bring printout of Indian/Persian miniature painting image OR Medieval Manuscript. Idea is to expose students to book arts/works on paper
*We recommend buying a watercolor set as soon as possible, but if you already have a set of high quality watercolors there is no need to buy more. Any set of 8+ high quality watercolors will work. Please let us know if you have any questions!
