Getting the right green for your subject can often be a big challenge. This paint along demo will give you all the information and methods you will need to portray greens in sunlight, low light, shadow, and distance. The following specific greens will widen your color palette and create new exciting greens: sap, phthalo/viridian, hookers, and olive. Alex will paint in watercolor, but the color mixings are applicable to all paint media. Alex will use the colors separately and will demonstrate how to alter them for the effect you are seeking. Additional colors will be used to change the greens in different ways to get them to advance into the light or retreat into shadow or distance.

Many artists can feel frustrated in front of a blank canvas, unsure of how to start and what to paint. Paint with confidence by learning techniques to tap into your intuitive process and find inspiration more easily! Experienced instruction and advice will push students to take chances and explore unexpected directions and accidental marks to achieve artistic discoveries. Students will use line, color and space, and editing possibilities to create busy/calm areas and focal points in their paintings as they work from personal imagery, expression, and imagination. Instruction will take the form of PowerPoint presentation/examples, formal direction from modern and contemporary artists, and one-on-on critiques in Zoom sessions that are geared toward open painting time in a classroom-like setting. Painting experience recommended.
