For your class project, you will create three original watercolor flower paintings based on reference images.

WHAT WE'LL DO:

First we'll get comfortable with layering our paints and using this to create form
Then we'll choose suitable reference images, and simplify them
Lastly we’ll create paintings with depth based on these references

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

Watercolor paper (140lb/300gsm) hot press/cold press/rough is all fine.
Watercolor paints - red, yellow, and blue.
Two paint brushes. One large and one small round brush.
Two containers of water
A rag / paper towel to dry your brush on.
A pencil
An eraser
A mixing palette (a dinner plate can work for this)
- Optional: A hairdryer or heat tool to speed up the drying process.
