The Watercolor Pages Design, Technique & Flow

The Watercolor Pages is a 5 week introduction to the watercolor medium. In this class we will work through the concepts of Design, Technique and Flow. You will see how these 3 ideas become the foundation of our watercolor practice. This class is also for intermediate painters, and for those who have completed The Watercolor Pages (1). These lessons will be both structured and tailored to individual interests.

We will explore values, washes, blending, watering off, textures, layers, negative painting, lifting, color theory and more through fun and beautiful exercises using our jewel toned pigments and water.

As your creative intuition develops, you will feel yourself transforming into becoming an artist. At the end of the five weeks, you will have a beautiful journal, frameable works of art and the ultimate joy of fulfilling your dream of being a watercolor painter.

Let your Sundays truly become a day of rest and relaxation with our spring watercolor class.
