A black coloured bird that one sees daily might appear to be a mundane subject to paint, at first sight. However, the very fact that it is monotonous in colour gives us a huge scope for abstraction and experimentation with colour. In the natural world, nothing is purely black. Go ahead and observe the crow sitting on your window sill. You will see hints and glimmers of a wide range of different colours as you observe him from different angles. This class is a demonstration on how to exaggerate these hues and give a common crow a new coat of colour.
We shall tackle this subject using big brushes, bold strokes and daring colours. The painting will be very loose and flowy. We shall focus on large shapes, form and composition and not perfection in minor details. We shall embrace happy accidents and find joy in the unpredictability that the medium of watercolour affords us.
