CANCELLED. By popular demand, instructor may offer similar course in-person later in 2022.
Painting in Watercolor should be a joyful experience. Learn to loosen up and appreciate all the beautiful qualities of watercolor medium. Students will learn to mass values, control edges and control pigment to water ratios. We will strive to let the watercolor paint do the work. Each week we will have a few short exercises to help students learn more about the technical aspects of watercolor. If the warm up exercises are centered around painting wet into wet then the daily painting will be done using wet on to wet techniques. These will be finished for homework and critiqued in the next class. Our goal will be to learn and make painting fun and rewarding.
