Learn all about the possibilities of watercolor painting, including color, shape, composition, and transparency. The class is designed to develop self-confidence and creativity in the medium.

Each class starts with a demo and an introduction to the aims of the class. It ends with a positive discussion between students, a general review of the work achieved, and wishes for the next class.

Move beyond the fundamentals through observation and experimentation!
