Watercolor Painting II

Description

This class is offered as a continuation of the previous Watercolor Painting I class. If you are new to this class, and have some experience in painting with Watercolor medium, welcome! Come join us for a deep dive into painting with Watercolors. We will focus on practicing and refining our basic skills and creating unique compositions. With some painting experience, you can fully participate and enjoy this class. Sequential exercises and creative projects will be suggested to encourage individual development. We will continue to use critique to gain a fuller understand of how to create effective compositions. As we continue learning about the nature of color, transparency, and opacity, we will also be exploring different papers, brushes and expanded watercolor painting techniques.
