Watercolor Classes

6-Week Beginning Watercolor Class
Explore the basics of Watercolor: choosing the right brushes, paint and paper, mixing and applying paint, correcting mistakes, and saving the white of the paper. Experiment with exciting tricks and techniques; all in a non-stressful, fun environment. Students will create several finished paintings, while getting a good feel for a unique, enjoyable, and very beautiful medium.
Taught by Renee F. Wrenwood, a prize-winning local watercolorist and art instructor. She loves the medium and is happiest with a loaded brush in her hand.

Experimental Watercolor
Explore new ways to find joy in watercolor! In this class we will check out methods you’ve heard of and some you haven’t.
We will work on different experimental projects: watercolor pour, watercolor on Yupo, loose and free techniques, collage with Unyru paper and watercolor, washes of light and color… and many more.
Here’s your chance to really create with watercolor!

We’ll be meeting at a studio just off the square, only a block from the Art House - with a parking lot!
$105/month: $90/month (whether 4 or 5 weeks - bonus!) with an additional $15 supply fee. This is an ongoing, every week class, and is paid monthly. I'm requesting that you pay whether or not you come to class, with makeup classes available during my other classes (see above).
Ages: Adults, serious teens.
