Oriented to the beginning watercolor painter, this class uses a broad range of subject matter--from wildlife, botanicals, still life, and landscapes-- as a way to learn and master basic techniques of wet-into-wet and wet-into-dry painting.  The goal is for students to be successful and to complete a project in one session. When projects are not finished, there is time to complete them at the beginning of the next class. You bring your favorite watercolor supplies and will learn the best ways to use them. Learn about the supplies and the right kinds of materials to use for the effects you wish to achieve. New students start with a lovely project and get guidance on how to complete it while learning how to control edges, mix color, and finish a sweet background. Through this initial project, you will become familiar with basic concepts of watercolor painting and have success that will move you forward to success with more challenging subjects. Each class will have demonstrations and step-by-step instructions. Each student will get lots of personal attention and personal consults on their technique and their artwork.
 
Students who have no materials and would like to try professional materials can have this experience by using paint trays with M.Graham paints and excellent paper provided by the instructor for an additional fee of $10 fee.
