Directions
Spring is coming.

 Adult classes start at age 17.

Adults

Our 8 week Spring Semester for Adults starts on Monday, April 6.

There's a class here for you, no matter what your experience. Some of our students can't remember the last time they explored their "artistic side". Others are quite far along in their artistic ventures.

We go out of our way to make you feel comfortable in developing that part of you that wants to be creative.

Adult classes are for students aged 17+.

Whether for a beginning or intermediate painter, this Watercolor class really gives you the foundation and confidence you need, and will provide you with shortcuts to success.

Enhance your skills by learning tips for its mastery, beginning with brush strokes, planning your paintings, and using the natural qualities of the medium - focusing on mixing vibrant, clean color - to create successful paintings from the first meeting.

Build your skills while working with others. Each class offers you one-on-one instruction and group observation and analysis for improvement of your paintings.

Those who have taken this class previously will find lots more to do to advance their watercolor experience. You can do it!

Some basic drawing experience is strongly recommended.

Those familiar with traditional and experimental watercolor techniques further develop their skills with challenging exercises. With inspiration from forms in still-life, landscape, abstract design, or the figure we explore visual ideas as fully as one's ability allows. Composition, color, light, and brush techniques are only some of the areas we will investigate.

Beginning / Intermediate watercolorists should register for that focus with Sally Caswell. The more advanced should register in Multi-Media or Advanced Watercolor with Carolyn Simon.
