A versatile approach to the art of watercolor painting, this class will familiarize students with supplies, theory, and techniques. Practicing washes and brushwork, students will learn about water control and working with their paints. We'll slowly expand the skills covered to include more subtle and nuanced techniques each week. By the end of the class students should have a foundation to pursue watercolor techniques in a variety of methods. This class is open to new and continuing students.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Thursday, February 13. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
