230-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 in-person component of a hybrid class. There will be students participating in person concurrently with students participating virtually via Zoom.

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

Special Notes

All students must comply with the Policies and Procedures found on The Center's website. There will be no refunds for students removed from class for failure to observe The Center’s Policies and Procedures.
