Through various exercises, students gain mastery over their technique, tools, and use of color while experimenting with mixed-media additions of their choice. Students work independently in and out of class to develop their own visual language. Students also develop a focused idea for a cohesive series, which they work on during the course of the class. They look more deeply at different approaches to abstraction in art history while reflecting on their artistic vision and how best to translate it into art.

This class is recommended for students who took Abstract Watercolor for Beginners as well as anyone with a comfortable grasp of basic watercolor skills.
