Watercolour knowledge – the interplay between water, paper and paint

info
Watercolours obeys the laws of nature and by understanding these laws we can learn to capture the artistic expressions we seek.
In this course we will go in depth on how watercolour painting works, by investigating why paint, water and paper behave the way they do together. We alternate painting exercises with experiments. This way we gain insights on how physics and chemistry affects our art works.
The course is best suited for those who have some previous experience with watercolour painting, but beginners are welcome as well.

About
Alexandra Walsh
Course leader Alexandra Walsh is a visual artist in Gothenburg and holds a doctorate in chemistry. Alexandra uses her background in science to create and talk about watercolour from a more artisanal perspective. With the help of chemistry and physics, she manipulates the watercolour paint in innovative ways, which results in an expression that is not found among other contemporary Nordic artists.
