In this beginner to intermediate watercolor course, students can learn everything you need to know about beginning with watercolors, from types of paints and paper, to advanced techniques. First time students will experience demos, one on one teaching time, inter-class discussions, and more to acclimate them into the new and exciting world of watercolor. Continuing and intermediate students will develop more involved pieces with plenty of individual guidance from the instructor.

Watercolor can be a bit fussy and “unforgiving” at times, but with a little patience and practice, it can become a favorite medium because of its many advantages. Techniques covered in this class include transferring drawings onto watercolor paper, color mixing, color theory, creating washes, wet on wet techniques, and dry brushing. The class will experiment with some textures using masking fluid and other tricks of the trade. Working from photos, we will start slow and end up with a finished masterpiece! Continuing students can work from still lives or reference images of their choice.
