Watercolor Basics

Watercolor is a versatile medium that can range from loose and gestural to tight and refined. This class will focus on some simple watercolor techniques and will teach students a little about the broad spectrum of ways watercolor can be used. Using California wildflowers as reference material, students will explore different methods for capturing natural subject matter. 

Supply list - Watercolor paper, watercolor paints (either a boxed set or tubes and palette), Brushes (at least one small and one medium, and more variety is always great)

Age - 12-Adult
