Description
Learn to paint landscape works from photographs that include buildings, mountains, and trees as a preliminary study or
sketch. Painting in layers and color mixing are discussed and demonstrated. Block-in the composition with gray scale tones,
perspective effects, and use watercolor to create a simplified sketch. Subject matter will vary.

WATERCOLOR MATERIALS
Note about watercolor paints: if you do not own watercolors, you might want to begin with very few colors. If you have no painting experience, purchase student grade block watercolors in trays rather than in tubes.
For non-professional use, there are several manufacturers of “student grade” watercolors in tubes, all of which work well enough: Grumbacher Academy series; Winsor & Newton London series; also Cotman series; or Martin F. Weber Company Permalba series. Labels change often.
Recommended colors include: Naples Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Light, Yellow Ochre; Cadmium Orange; Light Red English, Cadmium Red Medium; Alizarin Crimson; Cobalt Violet/Thio Violet; Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue; Chromium Oxide Green,
