Capturing Light with Watercolor with Erica Qualey

Capturing light in a painting can bring a subject to life and fill your work with glowing ambiance and mood. In this class, we will focus on light as a main element and create color sketches and studies that build to a strong finished painting, which participants will work on in class. Techniques such as washes, glazing, and masking will be demonstrated at the beginning of each class and discussed.
