128-Take Your Watercolor to the Next Level

This class is for artists who are familiar with watercolor painting, but still would like hands-on instruction using the medium. For this hybrid class, we will work from either a still life in the studio or at home and from photographs. Each class will begin with a short demo and instruction in color theory, composition, perspective, specific techniques or other topics requested by the students. This is a good follow up class to Beginner Watercolor.

This is the VIRTUAL component of a hybrid class. There will be students participating in person concurrently with students participating virtually via Zoom. This class will be taking place online using Zoom. Instructions on how to access the class will be sent a day before the class start date. 

Class Level: Adult and Teens 16+ (All Levels)
