In this class, students will have the opportunity to express themselves through art while building upon the basic principles and foundations of watercolor painting. The class will include lecture and demonstration.
While this class is perfect for beginners who are seeking to learn the fundamentals of painting, the lessons and projects will be geared toward individual skill and interest levels and is suitable for intermediate art students.
Students will learn the basics of color theory, proper application of paint, and fundamentals of composition and design.
Because each student is unique, projects may be altered and one-on-one instruction will be given to suit each student’s skills, talents, knowledge, and interest level. All supplies included.
