Wednesday, September 21st 5:00-7:00pm MT

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 paint set. All types are welcome!
  • Watercolor paper. All types are welcome!
  • A few varied watercolor, acrylic, or ink brushes
  • A sharpened pencil (HB or harder works well)
  • A white gum eraser
  • A few paper-towels
  • A container with clean water
  • Masking fluid for experimentation (not required)
  • A point of reference will be provided as a photograph. If you wish, please feel free to bring your own photo, object, or living being to work from
