Watercolour Painting: Wild Birds in the Landscape with Elaine L. Muth

The Course: The art of painting in watercolours secured its place in theworld of art expressions quite early, pre-dating both oil painting andacrylics. Transparency is the almost magical effect of true watercolourpainting, yet this feature entails potentially great technical difficulties.Since it is practically impossible to obliterate a colour by applying an-other over it, as is possible in other media, an accurate sketch is a must.Therefore drawing instruction will be included in this course. You willlearn the many advantages of watercolour techniques and methods withdaily demonstrations and detailed examples. Previous training in water-colour is preferred, but beginners are welcome. Instruction includes:• Colour application - direct painting, flat & graduated washes, linear andradial gradients, dry brush, layering and glazing; removing colour, paint-ing in half-covering & mixing on paper.• Colour theory & selection - shaded colour; colour quality, comple-ments, colour temperature, emotional value of colour, colour perspec-tive, tonal relation, contrast (chiaroscuro).• Subject matter - Composition and designing the picture plane, spatialdepth; proportion scale and mass; stages in landscape painting;anatomy of trees and birds; capture the moving form with kinestheticline & brush techniques.

Materials Fee: $25.00 includes special-use supplies and resource ma-terial. Students must supply all of their own basic materials; a supply listwill be provided upon registration.

The Instructor: Using the ever versatile and dependable medium ofwatercolour, Elaine L. Muth has recorded her experience of the flora,fauna, bio-geography and domestic architecture of many cultures &countries worldwide, including: France, Spain, Turkey, Cyprus, Greece,Morocco, Egypt, Malta, Atlantic & Pacific coasts, New Mexico & theCaribbean. Entranced by the wild birdsong, rolling landscape and vividlight of the Great Plains region where she was born and raised, Muthbegan a varied artistic practice by the age of 9, which continues today.Early tuition in drawing, calligraphy, science, dance and music becamethe framework for a 4 decade career as painter, graphic and 3D de-signer, scientific illustrator and art educator/mentor. These lifelong pur-suits continiue to inspire her current interests in martial arts, the pianomusic of Eric Satie, Bach & Chopin, and the production of a large bodyof travel art. In 2000, while employed as a scientific illustrator at the col-lege of medicine, U of S, Muth received a grant to attend university inVenice, Italy and there studied the work of Leonardo da Vinci and otherearly anatomists. Muth’s professional experience as scientific illustratorspans the disciplines of archeology, plant taxonomy, and health sci-ences: dentistry, neuro science, gross anatomy and cell biology re-search.
