Painting with Watercolors

DP1 Lesson 32:
Value and Color with Watercolors

In this lesson, we apply techniques for creating value and color with watercolors to render naturalistic form. As an extension of our future world map project, we imagine the future humans who live there—including their mode of dress, transportation, and housing—and render them in watercolor. This requires us to engage in a specific form of art, concept art, which we learn about and understand through the work of contemporary concept artists for literature, film, television, animation, and video games.
