Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Step into a world of magic and creativity with "Spellbinding Art: Watercolor Paintings Inspired by Hocus Pocus" In this enchanting class, young artists will bring the mystical charm of some iconic characters to life through watercolor paintings. We’ll explore four unique and bewitching projects inspired by the beloved movie *Hocus Pocus*. Each session will focus on watercolor techniques, while painting everything from magical potions to candles, the sisters, and more! 

This class is perfect for budding artists who love all things spooky and whimsical. Join us for a cauldron of fun as we paint, laugh, and conjure up some artistic magic! No prior watercolor experience is needed—just bring your creativity and a love for Halloween!

The topics  that will be taught include wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and bokeh. The artists will be encouraged to add their own creative touches to their art as well. 

The class structure will be as follows:
Greetings
