Go With the Flow: Building Your Watercolor Skills

Explore the exciting medium of watercolor in this 6-week fun, hands-on class. Students will create a variety of paintings using basic watercolor techniques. We will cover the uses of washes and glazes, lifting, and how to create depth and contrast within a painting. We will also learn about color mixing, color harmony and compositional basics. All techniques will be demonstrated with personal attention given to each student.

This class is geared for students who have some experience painting with watercolor and would like to continue their development as watercolor artists.
