Description

Have you ever wanted to try watercolor painting, but weren't sure where to start? This class is all about exploring the basics in a fun relaxed way - no experience required! Just bring your curiosity and creativity! Over six sessions we'll cover: Simple sketching and composition methods to help you develop an interesting and balanced painting. Color mixing and blending and water control to get the best possible results. Brush techniques for smooth washes, fine details and specific textures. Layering methods to create depth and richness. And the addition of acrylics or gouache to add vibrancy and rich opacity. We'll work on enjoyable projects each week so you can practice new skills, experiment with color and gain confidence. By the end, you'll be ready to create your own watercolor masterpiece with a solid understanding of basic tips and techniques. No prior experience needed - just your enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new! Watercolor paper, brushes and paint will be provided.
