Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this watercolor class:

A one-day intensive to get acquainted (or reacquainted) with watercolor painting. Suitable for beginners or anyone looking for a refresher on watercolor fundamentals. Compared to other painting traditions, watercolor is more flexible, portable, and affordable. And it is also beautiful! Watercolor can be a challenge to get started with, though, so take this workshop to get you going in the right direction.

If you already have watercolor paints, brushes, and/or paper, bring them to class—this way you can learn using what you already own. 

Recommended supplies:

  • Tube or pan watercolor paints, at least three primary colors plus a dark brown or gray. Artist-grade recommended. If you are buying new paints, I suggest the “Essentials" set from Daniel Smith, or the "Introductory 6 Set” from Qor.
  • Watercolor paper with cotton content. I recommend Fabriano brand. The “Studio” series 140lb or 90lb cold press pads are a good affordable option.
  • At least one decent quality watercolor brush. I recommend a synthetic round brush between sizes 8-12. A good one to look for is size 10 Princeton "Snap" brush. (Other brush shapes and sizes are also useful.)
