If you are familiar with the basics of watercolor and would like to practice and develop your skills further, join this community of painters. We will have demonstrations, studio time, sharing work with peers and individual feedback.

Students will receive more information about the class one week prior to the start date.

Supply List:

NEW for Summer Term:? Students will need an Arches Watercolor Travel Journal, 6”x10”, 100% cotton, cold press, 140 lb., 15 sheets (or something similar) and a water soluble pencil.

Since this is a Beyond the Basics class, the instructor is assuming that students already have their own palette and a selection of their own brushes and watercolor paints.

You can use any and all watercolor paints that you have.??If you want to broaden your colors, here are some suggested watercolor tube paints:
