Watercolor painting, sketching and acrylic painting classes for adults and young artists 10+<\/strong> by professional artist Inese Poga provide with skills and knowledge, teach techniques, specifics of the medium, use of tools and art supplies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference between real art class and tutorial or drop-in painting event, like paint night, is huge. In the real art class, you learn what painting involves and consists of, obtain skills which allow afterwards to paint anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You watch demo of every step, get explanations, decide and understand what, where and why. We learn about the important aspects of painting from composition to paint application, values, contrast and how to achieve that. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always paint along with my students and provide them with explanations and recommendations not only about painting techniques, but all tools, paper, canvas, brushes and specifics of paints we use.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Art<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In-person art class is the most beneficial way to learn painting. Unlike a tutorial, it gives you insight in many techniques, use of tools, brushes and painting surfaces. You use your own canvas, paper, brushes and paints to learn what they can do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very beneficial to use pre-painted canvas for acrylic painting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Under-painted<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For better painting, pre-paint canvas to prime it. One decent layer of grey or cardboard color paint has a few functions: it saturates canvas and provides with medium dark value which is very important for painting. To prime canvas, you can use leftover or low quality acrylic paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For watercolor painting, you will learn many essential aspects of this medium<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will learn how to prepare paper, transfer drawing, how to mix watercolor paints, what optimal water-pigment proportion is, washes, glazed washes, detailed parts, wet on wet and dry on wet techniques, correct use of brushes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
