WATERCOLORS OF LANDSCAPE FROM A HIGH POINT OF VIEW, May-June 2015

An unusual point of view can make a watercolor interesting.  For this class, students painted the view from a window on a high floor of the library looking on to the campus of San Jose State.  They were inspired by Wayne Thiebaud's city views.

Students practiced painting neutrals by mixing colors that are opposite on the color palette.  They then did paintings of skies which had gray clouds.
