ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Gonzalo Ibáñez (b. 1992). Chilean visual artist whose work focuses on the representation of the environment, exploring the beauty in the aesthetic symbolism of the urban landscape, cultural heritage, and its social dimensions within the city. Trained as an architect, he has supplemented his career with studies in aesthetic philosophy, art history, and earthen architectural heritage. He has exhibited in Chile, Italy, Mexico, Peru, and Slovenia and won several international watercolor awards.
COURSE STRUCTURE
Learn how to capture light, composition, color theory, and atmosphere in watercolor. This will be taught through plein air painting (working directly from nature) and using reference materials in the studio.
The method combines lectures with analysis of artwork, diagrams, and examples. We'll practice the fundamental principles of painting theory and then apply them to our work right away.
You will learn to achieve fluidity and simplify your watercolors, allowing the water to be the main element in your work.
You'll receive personalized, one-on-one guidance for five days to improve your work.

Monday: The power of thumbnail - How to simplify in watercolor.
Tuesday: Capture light and shadow - Tonal structure
