Learn the basics of painting with watercolors in the 8-week class!
Watercolor has a reputation for being a difficult medium to master and our Beginning Watercolors for Adults course is designed to debunk that myth! Yes, it can be finicky, but with a little patience, you too can learn how to paint beautiful watercolor paintings.
Students will be introduced to different watercolor techniques including utilizing different papers and mediums, water-to-paint ratios, hard and soft edges, and preserving paper-white highlights. The first class of the term will review supplies and some basic techniques. If you have never painted with watercolors, it is important that you attend the first day of class.
This course is open to continuing students as well as new students. If you are new to watercolor, please let the process unfold. You may feel intimated in the beginning, but we work hard to meet your individual needs. Our lessons are designed to teach you the basic skills that will help you achieve success.
In addition to our in-class support, we have an active, closed Facebook group. Once you are a registered student, you may join our FB group. You’ll see other students posting their work and you are encouraged to post your own.

We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application on our website or call our office for assistance applying.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:
Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
