Watercolor Workshop - Working with an Autumn Palette
Saturday, October 11 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Charles McCaughtery

Painting with transparent watercolor. Learn to control water Experiment, different paints, lots of different papers.It is not necessary to have 300 colors on your palette. A limited palette of compatible colors of density and strength are much more manageable, and will have a surprising range of color.

Limited palette, I work in triads of red, yellow, and blue, four to meet different needs. Compatible triads should make a neutral gray when used in equal amounts. One color should not overpower another with opacity or strength. Experiment with colors by making grids of triads.

Experiment with papers of all kinds. Know what they will do and not do.

Have fun!
