水彩画：美術部！

Using a step by step approach, and a variety of techniques, students will learn how to create simple and dynamic paintings, how to use watercolor paint to its best advantage, and paint a variety of subjects.

I try to maintain a calm and engaging environment, emphasizing the process of creating art over the end result. I truly believe any one with an interest and willingness to learn can have a great time in this class, though some familiarity with watercolor is helpful. Class time can vary a little bit depending on the number of learners attending, and the complexity of the topic. Though I try to avoid it, sometimes class topics take two sessions (so two weeks) to finish up. I will always update the class listing to show if thats happening, with a “part 2” in the weekly topics section at the end of this description. Materials used will be a watercolor sketchbook or paper, drawing pencil, eraser, and watercolor paint in a variety of colors, and watercolor brushes, paper towel or rag to wipe brushes, and a cup of water. 

After these dates, new topics will be added, and student requests can always be incorporated into the schedule at any time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this class, if you are interested in a private class, or introduction to watercolor lesson for your learner.
