Painting miniatures requires a distillation of techniques to create an affecting and fascinating piece of art. Learn how to create miniature landscapes, still lifes, portraits and botanicals in watercolor, choose subject matter and composition for the best effect, use materials and tools best suited to this genre, how to mount or frame miniatures appropriately, and how to use archival materials to protect them.
Creating miniatures is a very fun way to learn all the basics of handling watercolor: color mixing, composition, value, and brushwork. Students should be able to complete and frame a small painting about every other class.
Miniatures make unique, personal and charming gifts. This is a great class to take before the holidays, enjoy yourself, relax, learn something new, and check off your shopping list as you paint.
A kit of materials specific to framing miniatures will be provided by the instructor for your first miniature masterpiece, subsequent materials will need to be purchased and will be available from the instructor or E.W. Poore, depending on how you want to display your work. Many alternatives will be demonstrated and discussed.
Students need to bring the following to class:
140# Cold Pressed watercolor paper, pencil, white plastic eraser, water container, palette, a range of artist, not student, quality, transparent watercolor paints to include but not limited to -French Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, a transparent yellow, Sap Green, and good quality synthetic brushes 0,2 and 4 rounds.
This is a 12 week class - tuition is $180
