(Online) Color Your World with Watercolor

Transparent watercolor painting is often regarded as the most difficult artist's medium to use. This need not be so, as long as the artist starts with the very basics and is willing to let the often, unpredictable nature of the medium take its course. The "controlled accidents" are what make watercolor so fun to work with. Along with the effective use of materials, this class teaches the very foundation of watercolor painting--the wash, and explores glazing, creating textures, and the use of special effects unique to the watercolor medium. Along the way we will also focus on drawing for the painting process, and a simple method to mix color. Although this class is very intensive, it is for the beginner to intermediate artist.

Felipe has worked for 30 years in triple arenas of fine art, illustration, and comics and graphic novels.  His widely collected figurative fine art works merge realism with ethereal, impressionistic handling and abstract backgrounds.  He has taught fine art painting, drawing, color-mixing, and comic book art courses for 15 years and returns to OLLI at CSU for his second term.
