This class is designed for painters who have some experience with watercolor and want to keep improving, as well as beginners who are ready to learn with clear guidance. We work through projects step‑by‑step, exploring both loose and more detailed approaches.

Class size is limited to 6 participants. Materials are provided for anyone who needs them, and students with their own supplies are welcome to bring them.

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.
