- Watercolor: When choosing watercolor, you will be experimenting with pigment and water. The use of a dryer brush, versus a wet brush, a wet or dry paper, etc. We will be working on exercises that will allow you to learn how water and pigment behave together in order to have more control of the technique but also, allow the unexpected and "uncontrolled" to be an important part of your creation.
- Acrylic Painting: Acrylic can be used in many different ways. It can be thinned to have more of a watercolor effect, or used thicker for a very solid layer of color. Depending on your style, you can choose to get to very realistic result or a more expressive and spontaneous result by using looser brush strokes. We will be doing sketches and planning our final artworks that will be transferred to canvases, wood panels, paper and other types of surfaces.
- Mixed Media: For mixed media projects we will be putting together two or more mediums. You will be allowed to experiment with materials like paper, sand, little objects, different types of paint, ink, charcoal, etc., and create collages, abstract, or figurative paintings that will satisfy all your playful and creative needs.
- Oil Painting: A very important part of learning the use of oils has to do with the drying time. The fact that oil painting dries much slower than acrylic, will allow you to correct if needed and experiment different color effects. You can create very bright colors and use them on very specific details, creating reflections, lights, shadows, etc. and achieve a realistic and glossier finish.
- Drawing: When choosing drawing, you will exercise "sharpening the eye". To achieve this, we will be practicing a detailed observation of real objects or reference images that you will translate into drawings. You will be given with the tools to create finished works as well as sketches that could serve you to visualize your ideas.
