Watercolor for Adults • Register • View Cart •

Whether you are just starting out, or someone that has painted for a while, this class is to help students at every level. Participants will learn to use color in exciting ways: the group will focus on color theory, learning to mix colors with the color wheel, mixing compliments, mix various grays, discussing how color can express a wide range of emotions, learn about value and intensity, and many different watercolor techniques.  By the third class, you will have a painting to work on at your own speed while applying the knowledge you have learned.  There will be demonstrations and individual attention each class.  Each participant will work from a photo that inspires them or a still life you want to bring to class. 

All participants will walk away with a strong understanding of watercolor painting. 

Victoria's classes are designed for all skill levels.  Beginners, experienced artists and professionals can all participate!  Come enjoy painting the beautiful changing colors around us each week.
