Working with watercolors is a great way to let your artistic side shine! This class will cover the basics of watercolor painting—the materials; the techniques such as wet on wet, wet on dry, dry on dry; the use of color theory; and working with a sketch to create a strong final piece.

Mastering the art of watercolors comes with practice. We develop these skills by creating free-flowing color studies, landscapes or botanicals, and one final primary piece of your choosing. Demonstrations and hands-on help will be provided throughout each class.
