Instructor: Jennifer Brown

This watercolor class is for real beginners who are new to painting with watercolor.  Watercolor is often considered to be a difficult medium but using a playful step by step approach can make it really fun. We will cover setting up your palette, playing with brushstrokes and color, practicing value studies to create form, and establishing the habit of observational sketching and painting in a sketchbook. Click here for a materials list.
