____________________________________________________________________________
This class is designed for painters who have some experience with watercolor but feel stuck in their progress, as well as beginners who are committed enough to have purchased their materials and are ready for guidance. My painting style is looser than some instructors’, but I also discuss and demonstrate when a tighter approach is useful.
Class size is limited to 6 participants. Students should bring their own supplies; paints will be available if needed.
Sessions are 2 hours, $55 per person, and held Saturdays from 3–5 PM. There is no minimum number of classes required—join whenever you’d like. The weekly project will be posted here.
