Courses
Watercolour as Science – The Interplay Between Water, Paper, and Paint
- –
- Experimentverkstaden
info
Watercolours obey the laws of nature, and by understanding these laws, we can learn to capture the artistic expressions we seek.
In this course, we will delve deeply into how watercolour painting works by investigating why paint, water, and paper behave the way they do together. We alternate creative exercises with colour experiments, gaining insights into how physics and chemistry affect our artwork.
The course is best suited for those with some previous experience in watercolour painting, but beginners are welcome as well.
