Watercolor
 The luminosity and nuance of watercolor make it perfectly suited for landscape and architectural subjects. Working over a preliminary graphite drawing, students are taught a classic transparent wash technique, allowing for a subtle build-up of light, shadow and local color. The separate elements of landscape: skies, trees, architecture, are addressed, all with the goal of cohesively combining the particulars into expressive paintings.
The class will include frequent lectures and demonstrations, covering the full range of subject matter.
Students are encouraged to bring in whatever reference materials they choose: sketches, reproductions, photos, etc. The class atmosphere will be relaxed and non-competitive, enabling all levels to learn comfortably together.
Frederick Brosen’s watercolors have been the subject of numerous one-person exhibitions at galleries and museums across the country, most recently at Hirschl and Adler Modern (October 2007) and at The Museum of The City of New York (November 2005 - March 2006). In 2005, a book of his New York City paintings, Still New York, with essays by Ric Burns and Alan Feuer, was published by Vendome Press. He has taught numerous classes at The Art Students League and the National Academy of Design.
