Come and join us in a relaxed, supportive environment to pursue your artistic passions! This course is for all levels of watercolor artists. In alternate weeks, instructors will lead class projects, guiding and sharing different watercolor methods, techniques, and use of materials. Genres are determined by the instructor teaching and may include landscape, still life, portraiture and the figure, animals, cartooning, abstract or nonobjective art. We will have the opportunity to share and get feedback on our completed work or work in progress. At any of our classes, you are free to work on your own projects if you choose to do so.
