Philip Steel watercolor

Philip Steel has gained world recognition as an artist. He has offered watercolor workshops throughout the United States, Italy, France, Scotland, and England, and brings his warm and engaging style to our campus this summer. Emphasis will be on basic techniques of watercolor and some sketching, perspective, and value studies and the anatomy of objects; you’ll learn how to make a boat look like a boat. You’ll find out about mixing colors and the hows and whys of various techniques—wet on wet, dry brush, dry into wet, and wet into dry. You’ll be challenged to capture and interpret the moods of water, its reflections and transparency, its motion.
