Description

Adult class, all levels
Thursdays (May 8 to June 12) from 10 AM – noon
 

This class will focus on instruction in how to paint with the medium of watercolor and implement knowledge of color gained through the Color! Workshop.

If you are new to watercolor painting and you would like to learn basic watercolor technique, the basics will be presented. If you have painted with watercolor and are familiar with the basics, I will provide individualized instruction on how to take your watercolor paintings to the next level. This class will concentrate on applied color theory and creative design. We will explore the use of color, transparency, composition and color theory as well as paper choice, brushes and watercolor painting techniques such as gradient washes, wet-in-wet, dry brush, and color mixing. All levels of experience are welcome.
