The Dance of Watercolor: An Introduction to the Medium

Watercolor is such an amazing medium, with qualities and effects that are truly unique. Learning this medium is a bit of a “dance” because of the way it behaves. Once you learn a few simple techniques, you can produce consistently beautiful work. This class with Elaine Allen could be called “Watercolor 101” because it is very detailed and informative. Elaine will cover tools and supplies (including what to avoid!), and you will paint a number of ways that the medium is used. You’ll experience some of watercolor’s quirks and special effects, too.

Once you’ve finished this class, you’ll be able to confidently walk into any art supply store and buy what you need. Elaine will also provide some samples and an informative handout with explanations and buying suggestions. This three-hour adult class is also open to teens.
