Explore the beauty of watercolor in the heart of the Cycladic islands.
Join us at the Craft of Watercolor, a two week long workshop to be held at the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts on the island of Paros, Greece from June 10 to June 24, 2012.
The Craft of Watercolor is open to all levels. Whether you have experience in the art of watercolor painting, or you are a complete beginner, all are welcome to attend. |

Participants will be immersed in basic watercolor fundamentals and techniques. Core color concepts of tone, temperature and intensity will be explored as well as the study of color theory. We will explore drawing concepts as well, specifically how tone, brush stroke and line can convey form, space, light, shadow and texture. |
Over the course of the program, lessons will concentrate on the formal compositional and expressive qualities of a developed painting. In order to experiment and practice in the course, students will also have frequent opportunites for organized plein air (open air) painting excursions around the island of Paros. |

Along with excursions around various parts of Paros there will also be sessions to paint and draw from a model. The course will hold group critiques to provide feedback and discourse on each participants' works. The program will also offer scheduled talks and lectures from visiting professors. At the end of the two week session the course will conclude with an exhibition of student works at the Aegean Center. |
From the Aegean Center Chronicle:
"I had learned how to draw, to paint, to see."
