Summer Studio Watercolor Classes at CoRK

Summer Studio Watercolor Classes with Robert Leeedy @ his CoRK North studio, Wednesdays from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm July 31st thru September 4th, 2013. Beginner & Intermediate Levels. $200.

My watercolor classes are in a casual, studio  setting in Riverside at my CoRK North studio. I do demonstration paintings throughout the course. Students will paint from a still life set up in the studio gallery with a specific exercise / goal in mind. A group critique follows usually at the next class as students have had the opportunity to finish their paintings at home. I am big on individual, one-on-one instruction so that all students will feel comfortable at their own ability levels. Students always absorb a lot from fellow students as well; it is interesting and fun to see all of the different interpretations and approaches which adds to the group inspiration level.

Basic materials and watercolor techniques are explored. Elements & principles of design along with color theory will be the background as students learn brush control, value control, color mixing, and color layering. The goal will be to create luminous, color & light-filled, juicy watercolors that epitomize the medium. I will push you out of your comfort zone yet keep it fun and inspiring!

I will teach you that watercolor is not the difficult medium you thought it was!
