Spr 2019 Week 01 Watercolor: An Innovative Approach -- The California School of Watercolor

Introduction

A little history of one period of watercolor, the "California School" of Watercolor, which thrived between the mid-1920s and mid-50s. It emphasized bold design and color, broad brushstrokes and astracting a design from nature rather than copying a specific scene. Members of this "school" include Edgar Whitney, Rex Brandt, Emil Kosa Jr., George Post, Milford Zornes, Tony Couch, Edward Norton Ward, Ron Ranson, Robert E. Wood, Chris Van Winkle, Tom Fong, and Frank Webb.





Painting the Symbol of a Car

When we paint a large painting of a city street with buildings, cars and people, we don't want to realistically paint every detail of every building, car and person. Rather, we paint symbols of each of those.
