This class is for artists who are familiar with watercolor painting, but still would like hands-on instruction using the medium. For this hybrid class, we will work from either a still life in the studio or at home and from photographs. Each class will begin with a short demo and instruction in color theory, composition, perspective, specific techniques or other topics requested by the students. This is a good follow up class to Beginner Watercolor.

This is the in-person component of a hybrid class. There will be students participating in person concurrently with students participating virtually via Zoom.
