Learn how to paint wave action in the watercolor workshop “Making Waves” with Catherine Hearding. Students will learn how to create a sense of texture and movement in water, by using shapes and values. A three-step process simplifies the subject to its basic components and gives students a pathway through the painting process. Value studies and color solutions for water will be explored, as students create a painting full of color and movement.
