NEW CLASS! This is a new class offered for the first time based on numerous requests from the students! This class will clarify and simplify various aspects of painting with watercolor, while at the same time challenging the student with new possibilities. The class will introduce a number of principles, concepts and general information to expand the creative watercolor process. Techniques will include, but not be limited to, wet on wet, wet on dry, drybrush painting, mastering lights and shadows, and creating vibrant artwork.

A supply list for each class will be provided at the Parent/Student Orientation Meeting.
