Drawing and Watercolor

    This brand new Idea  of combining an hour of drawing with an hour of watercolor has proven to be wildly popular and instructive. 
       A fun, informative opportunity for beginners to learn about drawing and watercolor painting in a five week class.  Spend your mornings with an experienced professional artist who will guide you through the basics of drawing with pencil and painting with watercolor.

 The drawing sharpens the students eyes and allows them to isolate art concepts which they translate with watercolors.  It encourages students to understand the character of the watercolor medium and determine what techniques are best for each subject.  This is a wonderful  and exciting learning opportunity.

 We will learn to draw what we see and then simple painting techniques to add life and expression to our drawings.   No pressure, relaxed classroom with hands on step by step demonstrations.


             Traditional   Watercolor

     Gain confidence in your artwork. Gain insight into getting the most from the watercolor medium.  This is a watercolor course that explores the classical watercolor techniques in a simple systematic way.  Each process is explained and demonstrated and practiced before being used in a more complicated artwork.
     We will be working on one large painting throughout the course.  Each week will introduce, explain, demonstrate and offer in class exercises to a specific traditional watercolor technique.  After practicing the technique the student will add to their larger painting.
