I have chosen to base my EDCI 336 Free Inquiry Project around watercolour painting. I have painted using acrylics, oil paints, and watercolour paints before, but I would like to gain more experience using watercolours, in particular. I am mainly interested in learning different techniques that set watercolour apart from other mediums, like using opacity to my advantage when layering, as well as the awareness and use of complimentary and uncomplimentary colours. I would also like to learn how to mix watercolour paint, and to use reference photos – both to loosely inspire me and to see if I can create a close copy of an image. I would like to paint a medium-large landscape as that’s something I’ve never done before. I have some photos in mind that I have taken, that I am interested in recreating. I am looking forward to learning classic and modern painting techniques that I can use in my art. I will be looking at the work of both famous artists and smaller online creators in order to guide my research.
