Monroeville Public Library recently issued the following announcement.
Watercolor Made Easy with Marci Mason: Painting Water with Watercolor!
Tue Jul 27th 7:00pm - 8:30pm (EDT)
Monroeville Virtual
Online Event Location: Click here to join on Zoom!
Marci Mason, award-winning Pittsburgh artist, continues her series of master classes cosponsored by Monroeville Public Library and Monroeville Arts Council, as she demonstrates painting water and water reflections with watercolor — a real summer painting! Join us for this fun, easy and interesting class, as Marci shares the strategies and techniques a master painter uses to produce a brilliant watercolor painting.
Painting water with watercolor goes hand in hand. You will learn how to layer the blues in the water as well as how to paint reflections in the shallow water on the beach. You will need to sketch in the birds as well as the reflections so we can mask out the whites of the birds. No need to sketch the waves — just the horizon line.
You will use watercolor masking fluid for the whites on the birds only. You will also use table salt for this painting. The watercolors you will use are cerulean blue, indigo blue, some ultra marine blue, burnt umber, black and some Chinese white.
Participants may choose to simply watch, paint along with Marci, and/or review the recorded program later on YouTube.
Feel free to email Marci prior to the class with any questions: watercolorstudio1021@gmail.com
