Watercolor Fundamentals Part 1
This class focuses on the simple delight of mixing color with water, brushing it on paper, and watching what happens as it moves and dries. You will learn easy ways to create paintings that are all about color and the sometimes unpredictable nature of water.
No drawing skills are needed.
In this class we will explore the basic principles of watercolor painting. Learn or refresh your understanding of brush handling, brush care and setting up, the benefits of “good paper”, watercolor lights and darks, flat and graded washes, wet-on-wet techniques such as charging, wet-on-dry techniques such as glazing, color wheel, color theory, color mixing, and more. Simple applications of these techniques invite you to experiment and play.
This class is designed for adults 18+
class sizes are limited to 10 people, please register early
$270 for 6 classes, 2.5 hours each class
Payable via check, cash, or Zelle.

Watercolor Fundamentals Part 2
This next series will build on what we learned in Part 1, quickly refreshing some techniques and then applying them in our paintings. We will create more complex landscape paintings, skies and seascapes; wet-into-wet and wet-into-dry nature studies in a few different ways, and we will venture further into painting from our imaginations. We will explore abstraction and non-representational styles, where we don't look at something and try to paint it, but instead work intuitively with colors and shapes and let the paintings emerge and evolve from there. You don't have to know where you're going, enjoy the journey and see where it takes you!

Watercolor Fundamentals Part 3
You’ve experienced Part 1, you’ve experienced Part 2, and now let’s dive into more water in Part 3! More water leads to more spontaneity and deepens our focus in the moment. Loose florals, imagined landscapes, and abstractions are painted wet-into-wet style in multiple layers. Refining our abilities to work with the water keeps us open to possibilities and surprises in our paintings as they emerge.
