first day of class was fun and basic: meeting the instructor, ricardo (a different person than listed in the schedule, last minute switch), some class introductory conversations, checking out the materials and supplies list, filling out questionnaires, getting the dry stuff out of the way. we experimented with some basic watercolor techniques with different brushes and media, and just let loose. a lot of my basic knowledge from the Truman classes kicked in, and it felt like half of a Truman class crammed into one evening. the format was pretty loose, nothing as formal as what i’ve been through before in my previous two classes, so i’m glad I’ve had the step-by-step, organized learning of the basics before. i’m just glad i didn’t feel lost!
these are the explorations i did in class, testing out techniques, media and brushes.
