Art Making | Watercolors: How Colors Change over Distance

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.

For artists who love to paint landscapes, understanding how light changes over distance is important. In this class we will look closely at Charles Herbert Moore’s painting Water Mill, Simplon Village, painting a copy to learn from his choices regarding values, hues, and their saturations in the foreground, middle ground, and background.
