Watercolor Class From Start to Finish

Demonstrations are part of the class but painting from still life and photographs is emphasized. Experienced students will focus on assignments to improve color handling, composition, and specific painting challenges. Students must acquire their own supplies for this class.

More advanced students will learn to integrate other media into their work, including pen, ink, and watercolor, and will begin to focus on more complex and advanced techniques. All topics are adapted to levels suited to the student body. This is a great place to start for beginners and an invaluable back-to-basics course for the more experienced student.
