Sargent, Wyeth and Zorn have shown watercolor to be an ideal medium for figure painting. Students gain experience working directly from a live model for both short and more extended poses. Learning to "see" in masses, utilizing a limited palette and the fundamental techniques of watercolor are emphasized. Advanced students are aided in further developing and refining their skills. While previous drawing or painting experience is recommended, any enthusiastic student is welcome.
