Bring some beautiful sunshine to your winter days!
Watercolor is a translucent medium that sinks into
the fiber of a sheet of paper, releasing the light from
the surface. Watercolor dries fast, enabling one to
work quickly with freshness and spontaneity.
Explore the fundamentals of watercolor painting,
with an emphasis on exploration and personal
expression. Students will work from observation
investigating subjects ranging from botanical to
landscape. So if you have always wanted to learn
how to paint, starting out with watercolors is a
simple and creative step towards opening your
artistic possibilities! All you’ll need is a box of
watercolors, a brush and some beautiful paper.
Bring supplies; a short and inexpensive list will be
sent to registrants. Minimum 5. Maximum 20. Each
session meets once a week for 6 weeks
one given on Tuesday and another on Thursday.
$120.00 for 6 week session.If a person elects to take
both sessions- the second session will be reduced to
$100.00.
