Introduction to Watercolor

In person

Trowbridge and Liu

Drawing + Painting Class: All Levels

Try your hand at this beautiful art form as we work week-by-week on achieving the ethereal qualities of watercolor painting. Learn composition, color mixing, paint washes, dry brush techniques, and the more expressive flourishes of color. You’ll work from close observation of still life displays and will discuss light, color, and value. Everyone is encouraged to develop their own artistic style while getting accustomed to the techniques of the medium. This class is designed for beginners, but all levels are welcome.  Experienced painters get a chance to practice their technique.

Please see list of supplies for students to bring below.
