Watercolor Series Project
Glenn Hirsch, Instructor
a series offers variety on a
theme
A series can be versions of the same thing
a series can be versions of different things which are related in
some way
a series can tell a story
a series can be experiments to answer a question
e.g., what kind of background?
What are all the ways light can be painted?
What are all the ways that color can be mixed?
how to paint leaves?
how to paint rubber and rusted metal?
how to paint the face?
a series can start with a masterstudy and then be applied tooriginal work
(study of Georgia O’Keefe)
(study of Emile Nolde)

a series can start with a master study and then be applied to original work
(study of Oscar Kokoschka)
