Watercolor Studio

Service Description

Watercolor is a beguiling and exciting medium with a character all its own. Even if you have never handled a brush before, you'll enjoy watercolor's idiosyncrasies while learning how to deal confidently with washes, glazes and color mixing. Bring your brushes, paints and other supplies to participate in "studio days" as we paint and explore watercolor potentials. Pamper yourself with four half-days of individual creativity as you experiment with a new media , start a new painting, or continue working on one. Open to all levels of experience. Beginners will explore specific exercises creating a variety of results and develop personal paintings. Experienced artists may work on individual projects and also explore techniques that may solve specific dilemmas. Each class will include one or two short demonstrations.
