Watercolors can sometimes be intimidating, I know I was intimidated by them at first, but they are also fun. In this ongoing club, learners will discover how much fun watercolors can be as they explore different techniques, styles, and tricks in watercolor painting. This class is meant to be a fun way for learners to explore watercolor painting without added stress.

At the start of each session, we will introduce ourselves and share anything we have worked on during the week with the class. After the introductions, I will present a technique, style, or trick in watercolor painting and demonstrate it to the learners. Everyone will then practice what was shown as we create our painting for that week. Your learner will be able to follow along as I show them step-by-step instructions on how to create their painting/project for the week. They will also be encouraged to ask questions along the way if they have any.

**It is IMPORTANT that learners have watercolor paper (140 lb.) specifically meant for watercolor painting, NOT printer paper, cardstock, or mixed media paper. This will lead to less frustration for your learner down the road and allow them to succeed in the painting process. I will provide links to several items on Amazon if you need to order them.

Please note that some sections have different topic schedules.
