DESCRIPTION
vTRANSCRIPT
WATERCOLOUR SKILLSET
Lessons in the very basic watercolour
techniques like (graded wash, wet-in-wet,
dry-brush, splatter etc.) will be given.
These lessons will be followed by an
introduction to applied techniques through
studies with expressive and observed
colour.
COLOUR PRIMER
Lessons will give a general introduction
to colour and the watercolour medium,
in particular. Students will explore the
medium and develop understanding in
the basics of colour composition (hue,
value, and intensity), mixing and tone.
Collage making will be done for
instilling the ideas of colour
composition in the students, practically.
WATERCOLOUR LESSONS:
ELEMENTS & ENTOURAGE
Lessons attempt to help students apply the
basic skills they’ve learnt in paintings. As
students develop a grip over the medium and
gain confidence with strokes, they will be
given practise in painting simple subjects and
still life first, which may further into studies of
foliage, landscape, skies and water.
STARTING WITH
WATERCOLOURS
Lessons will be mostly integrated
sessions where demonstrations will be
followed by students attempting to
paint for themselves. For enhanced
understanding of colour, medium and
ways of expression, practise will be
given with monochromatic,
dichromatic and trichromatic
paintings.
Materials required: good quality watercolour papers/book, sable brushes (round and flat-sizes*), tubes
of paint (artists’ watercolour*), Additional Supplies: 2B Pencil, erasers, sufficiently large-sized palette
(something with a white base is best), water container, box or something to hold supplies, water
absorbing towel, some kind of Drawing board (one out of cardboard or other stiff material)
