LIVE "KAYAKS" with Anne Abgott

LIVE CLASS AT VILLA SERENA: “KAYAKS” with Anne Abgott

We all have friends or children who like to Kayak. I love the colors, and the chance to paint sky, trees, reflections in water and skin!

So let’s explore repeating colors and maybe changing them a bit! I challenge you to change the colors of the hat or shirt. Then repeat those colors in the shapes of the reflections in the water.
Those reflections right now are the colors of her skin, her hat, and her shirt! Oh and we cannot forget that vibrant kayak!

Please make a black and white copy of the photo for your value chart.

Come to class with the drawing done on paper of your choice and size. I suggest cutting your paper to fit a matte/frame you already have in the house.

I will be working smaller than 11×14, perhaps to fit a cradleboard. I’ll discuss using cradleboards for your art work rather than framing. I will give you tips and instructions on varnishing your watercolors.

Have all your paints handy along with round and flat brushes. Several sized flat brushes will be helpful in this class. I suggest 1/4 and 1/2 along with a lifting tool or scrubber brushes.

No masking please .
