From September 30 through

If you are familiar with the basics of watercolor and would like to practice and develop your skills further, join this community of painters. We will have demonstrations, studio time, sharing work with peers and individual feedback.
Students will receive more information about the class one week prior to the start date.
For Summer 2024: We will practice getting loose using BIG brushes. You will need a 1″ or bigger flat brush and/or a size 14 or bigger round brush.
