PAUL CEZANNE AND JAMES WHISTLER
In this 5-week watercolor workshop we will focus on the watercolors of Post-Impressionists Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) and James Whistler (1834-1903). They met while in Paris in the 1860’s, when Paris was the center of literary and artistic activity. While both used watercolor as preparatory sketches for larger oils, their approaches to the medium were very different. We will explore their techniques and apply them to our own work. Weekly demonstrations of watercolor techniques will include gradated washes, wet on wet, wet into dry, and dry brush.
