Beginner Watercolor

Description

This class is designed for students who have never painted with watercolors before. It will cover a description of and demonstration of the basic materials and techniques, as well as the important elements of painting, such as structure, composition, and color theory. The end goal of the class is to complete at least two full paintings.

Classes will incorporate lecture/demonstration time as well as studio time.

No experience is necessary, although a rudimentary ability to draw is very important.
