Online Class: Intermediate Watercolors

Join us for a class that will help to take your watercolor painting to the next level! In this class we will go beyond the basics of watercolor and create an image together as a class. Participants will explore color and tonal compositions inspired by nature as seen in our environment, personal home collections, and the endlessly thought and emotion-provoking art of Georgia O’Keeffe. In a combination of technique demonstration and practice, this workshop is great for anyone looking to build skills in watercolor, already maintains a watercolor practice, enjoys basking in the beauty around them, and/or is looking for a freeing and fluid experience grounded in nature.

Supplies needed for this class:

• watercolor paints
• watercolor paper
• varied watercolor, acrylic, or ink brushes
• a sharpened pencil (HB or harder works well)
• white gum eraser
• white oil pastel
• wax crayon
• paper-towels
• a container with clean water
• masking fluid for experimentation (not required)
• a photograph will be provided for inspiration. Please feel free to bring your own photo, object, or living being to work from
