Workshops for Kids & Adults
Thursday Evening
Adult Watercolor Workshop
Next session TBD
6:45pm - 8:30pm
Our Watercolor Workshop will meet twice a month on 2nd and 4th Thursdays (In November, we’ll meet on the 5th Thursday).
Students will learn how to build an intuitive sense of color, starting with a grid & glazes (wet on wet, wet on dry and mixing on a palette). Next, we’ll build skills to work on still life paintings and small landscapes through the process of light to dark, thin glazes and pushing color beyond what we see.
Each participant will work in a journal to be taken home so moments can be snatched to work on their skills. Suggested materials may be ordered on our registration page.
This class is affordable and flexible for busy adults who just need a time and space to be creative.
Registration for 2024-25 Workshops will open in early August
