Watercolor from Start to Finish

This class introduces classic watercolor techniques and builds slowly from the simple to the more complex. Topics include use of value, control of the medium, color mixing, and composition. Demonstrations are part of the class, but painting from still life and photographs is emphasized. Experienced students focus on assignments to improve color handling, composition, and specific painting challenges.

This online class will be taught through the video-conferencing platform Zoom, and your teacher will use Google Classroom or email to facilitate further communication with you and your classmates.
