Water Colour
Watercolors have been used throughout history
When teaching the use of watercolors, there are two distinct elementary activities being taught. The first is conveying basic technology of painting with a brush. This activity includes teaching specific terminology, brush manipulation, brush utilization and care; color mixing, color application and clean-up.
The second separate activity taught is the use of watercolor as a particular medium. This activity consists of its own terms and skills to be learned. Words like "dry brush", "wash", and "glazing" are names of techniques students will become familiar with during this section of the course. Painting is actually drawing with a brush. Therefore drawing skills are continuously stressed. Students progress from simple linear subject matter to the more three dimensional or complex subject matter. The better students draw, the better they will paint.
