Hamptons Summer Art Camp, Diving Into Art, Watercolor Painting

Our summer art camp in the Hamptons, Diving Into Art, meets in July for 2 weeks at our campus in Bridgehampton, NY. In Session I, July 18-22, we will focus on acrylic painting, and in Session II, July 25-29, we will focus on watercolor painting.

Watercolor painting is a whole world in and of itself, and paintings in this style give plenty room for the viewer to add his or her interpretation. This is definitely the case in the works of impressionist painters such as Monet, Degas, and Renoir.

An interesting technique to bring out different textures in your watercolor paintings is to use salt in the painting process.

Here is a short video demonstrating the process.
