ENTA 1301

Students will learn how to successfully create watercolour paintings. They will start with basic concepts like brush strokes and will review the basics of colour theory, talking about hues, tints, tones, shades, and values. During the first weeks, they will practice creating simple colour palettes of analogous colours, and neutral mixtures using contemporary colours. They will learn about masking and brush techniques creating diverse types and textures and adding interesting backgrounds to their compositions. By the end of term, they will be able to create more complex paintings by adding more colours into the mix. They will conclude the term with a final watercolour artwork that shows what they have learned in the course.
