The radiant transparency of watercolor provides an ideal medium to explore color, composition, and creative expression. This class is for those who want to take their first watercolor class.

Artist and educator Sasha will help students become comfortable with watercolor painting techniques and enjoy the painting process. Learn the basics of working with watercolors, such as transparency levels, water control, gradients, and paint saturation, and understand the weight and precision needed to start using the brush with greater controls to achieve fine details. Once you have learned the basics, we will experiment with other materials and analyze the results.

What are the Fundamentals of Watercolor?

• Wet vs. Dry Painting
