Introduction to Watercolor

Join me at the Rockport Art Center starting Wednesday, October 5th from 9:30 to 12:30 and ending on November 9th, 2022.

This will be a 6 week course that will encompass the principals and concepts of drawing basics and painting watercolor.

Beginners and more advanced students are welcome. It is open to all age levels who are interested in improving their drawing and painting skills.

We will learn the concepts of drawing including perspective, proportion and compositional design as a foundation to proper painting. You will learn the concepts of painting watercolor, watercolor washes, value/tonal studies and color mixing to create vibrant watercolors.

This course is ideal in helping you create sketch book compositions and larger, more complete artistic works in watercolor.
