One-Day Saturday Class — July 11, 2-5 pm — Ages 16+

This 3-hour workshop is an introduction to watercolor painting. The workshop also serves as a refresher for people who have been away from the medium and want to get back into it. It emphasizes contour drawing and composition as a foundation for watercolor painting. Through a series of exercises, students become acquainted with the brush, the lively surface of the paper, and the building blocks of watercolor painting, creating a series of small-scale paintings. All work is done from observation using still life under a lighting situation.
