Description
For centuries the depiction of water has challenged artists. Its unique properties – transparent, reflective, moving, still – create wonderful visual opportunities. This course will cover water features such as rivers, lakes, creeks, and ponds. We’ll examine both the natural characteristics of water and techniques for depicting them:
- how are reflections created and how to depict them
- how the depth of water affects its color and value
- the structure of waves
- how the surface of water is affected by wind
- techniques and color palettes for water
- using water features in your compositions
