Deepen your understanding of color theory to create amazingly realistic sunlight and shadows in your watercolor paintings. Have fun painting step-by-step zinnias and pears by starting with a "grisaille" foundation and then glazing with glowing watercolor washes. Enjoy seeing demonstrations and PowerPoint presentations. Paint a tertiary color wheel, glazing charts and watercolor swatches for reference. This workshop is for anyone interested in taking their understanding and practice of color theory to the next level. Participation in Patricia’s introductory workshop, Part 1: Color Theory for Watercolor, is not required.
Patricia Schmidt is known for her super-realistic paintings alive with color. She's been painting with watercolor for over 30 years and loves to teach workshops. She is a Signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and Watercolor Society of Oregon. Her paintings are published in the Splash Retrospective, Splash 14 and Splash 12 art books.
