Chesterton Art Center 2021 2-Zoom Day Workshop

Painting Water Reflections and Nature in Watercolor

Dale L. Popovich IWS will be offering a two-day Beginning/Intermediate Watercolor Workshop on Saturday, April 24th and Saturday, May 8th from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. In this Zoom workshop students will walk away with a better understanding of transparent watercolor. He will be teaching his personal step-by-step process of how to start and finish a watercolor.  Dale will concentrate on reflections of water. Students will acquire an understanding of how reflections of the shorelines reflect into the water, and how to interpret them.  He will also give participants an understanding of the values, temperatures, intensities, and hues, and how they react as a reflection.

A better understanding of how to cross mixed colors that best capture the reflections in the water will be demonstrated.  In this process, he will illustrate how to block-in and build a painting properly. Students will experience various applications of watercolor, color palette, properties of watercolor, tools, and techniques.  Dale’s objective through the step-by-step instruction will show how to avoid watercolor problems and grow as a painter.
