Learn watercolor through the techniques of master artists in this step-by-step course for beginning and intermediate painters. Students will complete six paintings while learning essential watercolor skills, including washes, wet-into-wet, dry brush, glazing, and color techniques. Each class features live demonstrations, projected instruction, and individual guidance, with most of the time devoted to hands-on painting. Inspired by artists such as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, J.M.W. Turner, Andrew Wyeth, Emil Nolde, and James Fitzgerald, this course builds confidence, strengthens technique, and encourages students to develop their own artistic style.
