Students develop confidence, consistency, and an individual style. Instruction includes class critique, demonstrations, and individual attention in solving problems in composition, value, and color harmony. The goal is to exploit the unique “magic” of watercolor with a variety of approaches. Beginners with some experience in drawing or other media are welcome.
This class is taught via the Zoom digital platform.
Supplies are necessary for this class. A supply list will be available for purchase under the class description closer to the start of the class. Kits are available for pick up or shipping for an additional fee to cover the cost of shipping. Call the store for more information: (703)548-8127
Additionally, as a service to our students, most supply lists are kept on hand in the Art League Supply Store. The existence of this store gives students the opportunity to obtain supplies in advance and come to class prepared to work. The Art League Supply Store is in studio 217 at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, just around the corner from the Art League School Registration Office.
They are open 7 days a week for your convenience. Due to our large enrollment, we are unable to mail, fax, or read supply lists over the phone.
Hours: Sunday through Thursday from 11:00am to 5:00pm
Friday and Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm
For more information, contact The Art League School at 703-683-2323.
