    This class is for those first timers wanting to experience watercolor or someone who wants to expand beginning skills. Have fun exploring the enchantment of water and paint in their irresistible dance. As with all painting, a little drawing experience is helpful. Feel free to bring supplies you may already have or wait for suggestions on what you may want to purchase. Some basic supplies are furnished. We will discuss preparing paper to paint, brushes and their technique, some color theory — but mostly we will jump in the water, and do it!

    Ages 16+. All levels.         This class is for someone who has basic experience painting in acrylics and wants to improve their skill and confidence as an artist. The class will focus on composition, use of color, brush strokes and visual impact, but move beyond the technical skills to the less tangible “joy” of painting. Over the course of two sessions, you will complete a painting of a spring scene. You will be encouraged not just to copy the sample painting but to “make it your own” as only you can do.

    Please bring an assortment of acrylic paint brushes (flats and rounds in various sizes) to class. All other materials will be provided.
