Class Description

This course is designed for all levels, from beginners wishing to learn the basic techniques of watercolor painting to experienced painters looking to take their work to the next level. One-on-one consultation and critic will be a staple of each class and other students can also learn from that individual guidance by listening and watching while they are working on their own painting. Well-timed demonstrations will be presented as needed for working in this lively medium.
