Intro To Watercolor - Level 1
Let’s learn to watercolor! We will begin this class by practicing a few guided watercolor techniques and quick studies to encourage a loose, expressive, free-flowing style. The latter half of the class will focus on completing individual paintings. Each participant will create their own unique arrangement from live flowers and greenery provided by the instructor. Demos and 1:1 feedback is offered throughout the process to help sharpen each participant's composition and color palette.

Large jar to hold paint water
Rag for clean up
Strathmore 400 Series Watercolor Block
Best economical watercolor paper I’ve found, while still being good quality
Please try to purchase the block version. If you purchase the wirebound version, the paper quality will not be as nice.
11x15” preferred, though 9x12” will work
