Art Making | Watercolors: The Power of Negative Space

Thursday, July 22, 2021 @ 8:00 pm

The Art Museum is partnering with the Arts Council of Princeton to provide free online watercolor classes. Weekly classes are taught by artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo over Zoom. With an emphasis on color mixing and brushwork, each week’s lesson will be inspired by works in the Museum’s collections.

In drawing and painting, a composition can be improved by considering the negative space. In this class we will work on painting flowers, examining the difference between a solid clump of blossoms and a composition that allows for space between stems and leaves.
