With so many color options out there, how do you actually make sense of which ones to use and how they work? How do you get that relaxed, confident flow when painting with watercolor? And what brushes give you the best bang for your buck?

Most of what you’ll learn about color and value in this course applies to any painting medium—and honestly, figuring it all out on your own could take a lifetime. That’s why this course is designed to walk you through everything step-by-step. We’ll cover why values are so important, how to tell different colors and paint types apart, and how light affects your painting—all while encouraging your own unique style to shine through.

If you already know a bit but feel like there are a few holes in your knowledge, this course will help connect the dots. It’s built for students who want a strong, solid foundation to really get going with watercolor. Materials are not included; here is a suggested supply list.

This class is scheduled to be in our print studio, which is only accessible by stairs.

In the Watercolor Techniques sessions, students get hands-on with a variety of brushwork and watercolor methods. They explore everything from wet-on-wet and dry brush to lifting, glazing, masking, and more—starting with loose washes and moving into more detailed studies. These sessions are all about building technical skills and deepening your understanding of color and value. As students grow more confident, they start applying what they've learned to painting landscapes and seascapes, picking up new techniques along the way. We check in on progress through evaluations that focus on technical skills, refinement, and the development of each student’s personal style. While this session is best for those already comfortable with colors and values, both are considered essential building blocks. Materials are not included; here is a suggested supply list.

Have you begun to learn the basics of painting and are ready for more? Build on the skills you learned in Learning to Paint Again (or a similar experience) and take your painting to the next level. This class focuses on refining your technique, deepening your understanding of color theory, and experimenting with advanced brushwork and texture. You’ll work from life to improve composition, light, and shadow, while developing a more intuitive and personal approach to painting. Whether you're refining your skills or exploring new techniques, this class offers a supportive environment where you can push your boundaries while continuing to develop your skills and artistic voice. This class is for advanced beginners who are building their confidence and are interested in going beyond an absolute beginner-level class. 

All materials are included. The quality of water-based acrylic paint has improved greatly over the years, and we will be working with acrylic and a slow drying medium that increases paint flow. If you prefer to use oil paint, please email the instructor.
