Bienvenu à la Maison: French Architectural Details in Watercolor | Smithsonian Studio Arts
July 13, 2023 @ 6:30 PM - July 20, 2023 @ 9:30 PM
Bienvenu à la Maison
Thursday, July 13 to Thursday, July 20, 2023, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. ET
A sunlit balcony, a window box filled with flowers, and a welcoming doorway—these architectural details may be found around the world, but there is no mistaking when they are part of a home in France. Working from personal reference photos or ones provided by the instructor, students learn to capture these unique details in flowing watercolor and to easily apply geometry to achieve the desired shapes. Students can expect to complete two paintings (one door and a window or balcony) over the course of the class. Previous watercolor experience is helpful but not required.
