This class is perfect for artists who are comfortable with watercolor painting but still want some hands-on guidance with the medium. In this class, we'll explore using still life setups in the studio or at home, as well as photographs. Each session kicks off with a brief demo and some tips on color theory, composition, perspective, or specific techniques — or whatever topics the students are excited to explore. It’s a wonderful next step after Watercolor Exploration. This is the in-person part of our hybrid program. You’ll find classmates joining us in the studio, while others attend virtually through Zoom, creating a lively, interactive group.
