Continuing using the skills you learned in Watercolor I in a new painting with varying color schemes and subjects.

    This in-person workshop is designed to give you the basic techniques required to start you in the wonderful world of watercolor. This friendly and open class is ideal for those who have never tried or have some knowledge in the medium. Some of the foundation subjects covered include - drawing, color mixing, wet-in-wet, layering washes, lifting out and brush techniques! I will provide printed images of what to paint each class.

​

 Note: This group will meet monthly on Sundays to continue growing in watercolor painting while painting various subjects and techniques!

Winsor and Newton paint set along with brush set and paper is what I recommend for beginners to intermediate as a great start! As you grow in watercolor painting, you will continue using the colors in your initial palette and then discover even more colors to add to your personal palette!

I suggested a good base set for beginners. As you grow you might add more brushes

​​

  •  9" x 12"  300 grams rough texture 140 lb. This is a good weight paper that won't warp from moisture
