Description

Class Experience

This ongoing class will teach budding artists the basics of watercolor, including how to care for their supplies, fundamental techniques, and step-by-step instruction to guide students in a new watercolor illustration each week. Students will be encouraged to take the techniques they learn in this class and experiment freely to develop their own style, building their skill and confidence.

Students may engage me in conversation to ask questions, share anecdotes, or show their work at any...

Quality paper for painting. Watercolor paper is ideal to replicate the techniques I will be teaching, but multimedia paper or heavy cardstock may suffice. Regular printer/copier paper will not hold up well to watercolor paint.
Watercolor paints. A simple set of crayola watercolors will suffice. 
Paint brushes. A variety of sizes and shapes is best.
Paper towels
Water for rinsing the brush
A protected work surface and "grubby" clothes that will not be damaged by stray paint splatters.
---
Some activities may require additional materials, such as crayons, washable markers, or salt. I will make sure to notify my learners in advance if I am planning such an activity for the following week.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
