Luminous Color Workshop

March 14, 2023 by Tracye

This is a sketch from Shari Blaukopf’s online course. Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson and Cad Yellow were used for the street scene from San Miguel. Lots of work with window detailing and shadows for this sketch. Here we practiced loose saturated washes with one color. Making sure the colors stay wet it key for vibrancy no matter what type of paper you choose. I used Saunders Cold Press for most of the course.

ART SUPPLIES IN MONOTONE

January 11, 2021 by Tracye

This was an exercise from my class with watercolorist Shari Blaukopf. Working with one color will help you to recognize values easier before moving on to trickier color combinations. Edge work is also easier with the one color. Here, I used Peach Black from Holbein but a variety of colors that can be worked dark to light include: Indigo, Paynes Grey, Sepia and Burnt Sienna.

Little Green Pear

May 8, 2018 by Tracye

I enjoyed the online class “Pearology” with artist Martha Lever.  This is a fun class working in watercolors using the glazing method.  Starting out with very light washes of light yellow pigments and gradually layering in a bit of quinacrodone gold. Here is a link  for the workshop Pearology Class.
