October 2026: Beginning Watercolor Class - Session 1
October 3, 10, 17, 24, 2026
Join me in my cozy farmhouse studio where I will share with you how to paint using watercolor. We will begin each class with some warm up skills and fun painting lessons. Along the way I encourage sharing, discussions, and encouragement of others in your class. I will have many demonstrations for you along the way to help guide you to watercolor success.
Each Saturday in class you will learn techniques and foundations of watercolor. You will be able to combine all of what you have learned into a full painting in each class. This may be a seasonal food item, a landscape or botanicals. I can not wait to see how amazed you will be with your refined skills!
Supplies: Having good quality supplies will ensure your watercolor success. Here is a list of the exact supplies you will need for this class. Each watercolor class will use these same supplies so you will only have to purchase once, unless you run out. Most supplies will last you for years. Here is your art supply list >
