Beginning Watercolor I

This class is designed for those who have never painted or suspect they have “no artistic talent” as well as those who may have had a bit of success with watercolor but want to improve their skills. We will begin with the very basics, learning about supplies and various ways to apply paint to paper. The six-week course will cover values, color mixing, brushwork, and texture techniques. Each class will feature hands-on activities, progressing from simple exercises to a painted piece.

SUPPLIES: You may bring your own brushes and watercolor paints, but please don’t rush out to buy supplies. At the first session the instructor will provide a complete list of supplies (estimated cost $60) and suggestions to help you navigate those sometimes confusing watercolor choices.
