Class Experience

Beginner - Intermediate Level
This ongoing class meets once every week. We will paint plants and animals. Each week is charged as a subscription on Sunday mornings.

This class is designed for students who want to learn the art of Watercolor Painting. Students will start a new project every week and have a chance to progress throughout the series.  Basic artistic concepts pertaining to the medium will be covered, such as Transparency, Composition, basic Color Theory, and Value. A fundamental, hands-on working knowledge of the medium and equipment will be addressed throughout the course. Instructor will use a step-by-step approach to demonstrate watercolor painting techniques, including wet on dry, wet on wet, dry on wet, using salt, painting with a sponge, and more. Emphasis will be on problem-solving, skill building, and helping students develop a personal style. Specific techniques will be addressed to help students make decisions and work through and complete paintings.

Once they built a solid foundation and keep practicing, they will be able to design a multitude of unique watercolor paintings of their own. Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment.

Mandatory Video Check-In
Video check-in is mandatory for safety purposes per Outschool policy. Students are required to have their cameras on to allow the teacher to check in and verify each learner. After check-in, students have the option of either turning off their camera or leaving it on, whatever is their preference. Younger learners are highly encouraged to leave their cameras on.

In the event a learner misses a class, recordings are made available in each classroom. Students are more than welcomed to reach out for any questions and share their work in the classroom.

Late/ Missed Class
All classes will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message in the classroom and exit after ten minutes of waiting per Outschool policy.
