Watercolor
Intermediate & Advanced
Outdoors Class

Alvaro Castagnet has earned a huge international reputation as an artist and teacher. He believes that mastery of tonal values is the key to volume and depth in watercolor painting.

Alvaro begins class with a philosophical introduction to “what makes a painting,” followed by a simple “one-go” demonstration. As class progresses, techniques such as wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, lost & found edges, and color blending is introduced. By mid-week, the focus is on values, with challenging exercises, demonstrations and critiques of your paintings in progress. This is an opportunity to have fun learning from an energetic and colorful master of expressive watercolor. Please note that a fee of $50 is added to tuition for this class, to offset international travel costs.
