The next six sessions of Watercolor II will find us continuing to study master watercolor artists. We will learn about successful watercolor techniques and compositions applied to our own paintings. With spring flowers coming in to full bloom it is the perfect opportunity to feature them as subjects for painting.

Whether you paint realistically, love Impressionism or developing an eye for Abstraction, exercises and creative projects willbe offered to encourage individual development.

We will proceed with class critiques to gain a broader perspective on what works in a painting. As we continue to learn about the nature of color, transparency and opacity, we will be exploring papers, brushes and watercolor brands. Bring your supplies and materials to class, as there are no material fees.
