Understanding light is the foundation of our art. Without it there is no contrast\, no color\, no vision. In this class we will continue to explore light and how it emerges through color theory. Join us to investigate how the variety of watercolor techniques\, particularly the use of transparent layers will allow us to create our own light inspired visions. This class is a continuation of “See The Light” but newcomers are more than welcome!’ \nMATERIALS LIST\nMaterials student will need to provide: :  watercolor set(an inexpensive tray is fine but a set of tubes with palette is great\, too)\, variety of brushes\, masking fluid\,  watercolor block or pad(at least 140 lb\, 8x 10\, 12 x 16\, 16 x 20 or a few sheets with a gator foam board for stapling or some other support  or 300 lb paper which doesn’t need mounting\,  hot or cold press or even rough can work\, jar or two for water\, spray bottle\, sponge or two\, #2 pencil or mechanical pencil\, paper towels.  Several printed 8 x 10  photos taken by the student of light on the subjects of choice.
