This class is geared towards those with a basic knowledge of watercolor, as well as those who are more advanced. We begin with a review of the basics of wash, wet into wet, transparent layering, and color mixing. Students will then progress to work on subjects of their own choosing. Individualized instruction will allow each student to address his or her specific skill level, interests and style. At least one previous watercolor class is recommended.
