Intro to Watercolor with Carolyn DiFiori Hopkins, MFA

This workshop offers a gentle introduction to watercolor, perfect for those just starting out.

You’ll learn about the essential materials:
- brushes
- paper
- palettes
- paints

You’ll practice very basic techniques such as simple washes, water control, and how watercolor behaves on the page. By the end, you’ll have a solid foundation to build on for future workshops.

Supplies aren’t included in the workshop fee. You can find a PDF supply list in the workshop description. Carolyn will go over the materials during the workshop, and there’s a display at Arlene’s so students can easily get what they need.

This session is required for all new students unless proficiency is demonstrated.

A quick note about classroom etiquette: phones may absolutely be used for visual reference, but please silence calls and notifications. This is a focused, art-centered workshop, and we ask that conversations remain rooted in painting and creative exploration.
