Watercolor is a truly diverse medium. Explore basic techniques of washes, learn wet on wet painting, glazing and dry brush methods. We will begin to understand the properties of pigments and when to use them properly. More advanced students will move beyond the basics, creating a series of more complex paintings and completing their own interpretations of projects presented in class. Watercolor is always challenging, fresh and new. No experience necessary, beginners welcome.
