old watercolor class

these are a few paintings i've done in the two classes i took at truman. 

the basic color wheel, of course ... step 1 of watercolor 101!  started with only primary colors, mixed them to get secondary colors, then mixed those to get tertiary colors.


three paintings of the same apple, experimenting three different techniques.  very dry paint, as dry as possible, on dry paper, very wet paint on dry paper, and super wet paint on paper that's been soaked in water for 15 minutes.

trying a blue hue for shadow on the apple and lemon.  study of values, color matching and object relationship in space.
