Announcing the Saturday, March 22 Watercolor Workshop: “Up on the Rooftop”
Some of the best views of our great city are from the rooftops. It’s here that we see a lot of its secrets that are hidden from the street, including water tanks, skylights, chimneys, treetops, power lines, and faraway glimpses of the distant skyline.
You can rummage through Bill’s numerous reference photos for inspiration. And you can be as realistic in detail, or as abstract and suggestive as you like. Use your imagination. Or even better—take a short trip on the EL to get as many shots of the rooftops as your phone can handle—the inspirations are there at every turn!
Bill will be demonstrating in an 8 x 10 format, on arches Watercolor paper, using a limited palette including Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, and Cobalt Blue; if you feel like busting out into a wider palette, be my guest! I highly recommend Winsor Newton or Cotman tube Colors.
Bring your own paints and a mixing tray, a 1” flat brush and a #10 and #5 round, and your own watercolor paper You’ll also need some sketch paper, a # 2 pencil, and some masking tape. I provide painting boards, water vessels, and sponges.
Class goes from 1pm to 4:15pm. Tuition is $50, payable by cash, check or Zelle. Let me know ASAP if you would like to come. And please note—ALL levels of skill and experience are welcome!
See you up on the roof!
