Watercolor Workshop with Christopher Leeper

Amazing Grace Church, 3325 S. Federal Blvd. Englewood, CO 80110

Chris teaches in a fun and relaxed style. There will be daily demos, lectures and lots of one-on-one instruction. What we will discuss in this workshop:

Technique fundamentals (Things I wish I knew 30 years ago).
Getting the most from our brushwork and our palette.

The first half-hour of a painting (Make it or break it).
Understanding the importance of drawing and early painting development.

Values (Why value is more important than color in your painting).
We will do value studies and small color studies to understand value shapes and painting structure.

Color (Spend more time painting and less time mixing colors).Understanding color temperature, intensity, value, and basic color theory to improve color mixing.

Composition (If it feels right, it probably is right).We will discuss pictorial design and learn how to create dynamic compositions.
