Description
In this fundamentals class, students will build upon their techniques in drawing, watercolor, acrylic paint, and sculpture. Starting with graphite pencils, colored pencils, and charcoal, Jessica will show students how to develop value and texture using techniques such as stippling, hatching, cross-hatching, and blending. Students will transition to watercolor, deepening their understanding of washes, texture, and how to make colors darker and lighter.
