Intermediate Watercolor Painting with Purnell Pettyjohn
Resumes in November 2023
Tuition: $200
Location: Lynchburg
Wet - into - Wet procedure will be addressed in this session. Students will spritz water in areas of paper to soften or mute brushwork. By wetting the entire piece of paper, students will be able to work on loose brush work first and delve into more detail, as the paper starts to dry. With this process, loosely painted bird, butterfly or frog study will be greatly enhanced.
