COLOR: Watercolor and Ink

Yesterday the class added watercolor to the ink drawings from Monday. Students explored multiple techniques of wet on wet to wet on dry.

Joy

Joy has effectively rendered the local colors of objects by using layered applications of color to build up the values. Notice how she uses warm colors towards the light source and cool colors in the receding and shadow areas. In addition, she has applied a final glaze of yellow over the objects adding depth and luminosity.

Emily

Emily started with a very complete ink drawing in black and white before adding color. She has very skillfully located similar colors in diagonal locations to unite the elements strengthening the compositional balance.

WATERCOLOR: Atmospheric Perspective

Yesterday the class made ink drawings from a group still life. Tomorrow we will color the drawings using watercolor. The objective is to explore the application of watercolor on an image illustrating the properties of atmospheric perspective and the distal cues.
