WATERCOLOR: BEGINNING & INTERMEDIATE
Description:
Step into the expressive world of watercolor painting and discover the beauty of working with pigment, water, and paper!
Throughout the course, we’ll explore a variety of fine art subjects, including landscapes, portraits, botanicals, and animal studies. Each project will begin with a basic drawing lesson to map out the painting’s composition. From there, students will practice careful observation while learning how to create luminous washes, soft transitions, and rich textures that bring watercolor paintings to life. Addie will demonstrate watercolor techniques and guide students through exercises while allowing time for personal interpretation and creative exploration.
