From her students:
“Thanks so much- excited to keep learning”
“…you are the most helpful teacher we’ve had! Your enthusiasm and support are so motivating!”
“I feel that I have been stuck at a certain level for a long time not knowing how to get to the next level and you’ve helped with this.”
Learn how to capture the structure and transparency of glass and light in watercolour.
Danielle will walk you through her process of achieving successful, realistic, glass in watercolour. Together we will use a step-by-step approach breaking down complicated subjects building practical strategies towards successful outcomes. She walks you through the entire process of her painting. Learn how to really “see” shapes and colours and their relationships in the composition. The workshop is jam packed with hints, tips, and insights from studio practices to painting techniques on achieving realism in watercolour.
The Class
For two hours each week, you will receive advice on the necessary steps for each painting involving glass and light. All participants will then paint along to apply the demonstrated techniques that can be reapplied to other types of glass. The focus will be on interactive and individualized instruction, and you will be encouraged to ask questions throughout.
Between classes, you may send photos of either in-progress or completed paintings to Danielle for a private critique or advice to take your painting to the next stage. Each week, you will have a bit of “homework”.
If you cannot attend any of the live classes, don’t worry. All the presentations and recordings will be available to you after each class. You will have lifetime access on YouTube.
You will be painting two (2) projects during this 6-week class. The first will be lights in a jar, the second will be a portion of a chandelier. Participants are more than welcome to paint from their own photos.
Painting experience is necessary.
