VMFA Instructor, Marjorie Perrin

18 yrs & up

This class provides insight into watercolor painting for beginners as well as experienced painters who are developing techniques. During a demonstration of developing composition and color mixing, participants will learn wet-in-wet and layering techniques. By understanding how the paints work, students will be able to translate what they see into finished paintings. Emphasis will be on employing a full range of techniques to create an expressive painting. Students can choose to work from their own photos or from the photos provided by the instructor.  Bring a roll of paper towels to class.  This program has been organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and is supported, in part, by the Paul Mellon Endowment and the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.
