    This class will help you incorporate the techniques of watercolor into small, informal paintings in your sketchbook. Perfect for absolute beginners and experienced watercolorists, we will talk about how to embrace playfulness in your practice as a way to open new doors. Learn how and when to control the paint, and when to let it do its own thing. We will cover foundational techniques such as glazing, blooms, subtraction as markmaking, and more. Join in for the fun!

    Maximum of 8 students.

    Three 3 hour sessions

    Our classes are now located at our "Studio North" location. When arriving make sure you have all your materials listed below for you class!

    MATERIAL LIST:

    · A sketchbook or pad with watercolor paper – 9x12 is good if you’re unsure what size you like, but anything will work. 140lb cold press is standard for paper.

    · Watercolors—I like the premade sets by Koi as a budget option, and individual tubes by either M. Graham or Daniel Smith if you’re looking to invest in nicer materials. In terms of colors, if you’re buying your own I recommend a split primary (warm/cool red, warm/cool blue, warm/cool yellow) plus a pink (anything with magenta or rose in the title should work).

    · Masking fluid or a masking pen—make sure it is removable!

    · Calligraphy nib & holder for applying masking fluid—you can also use an “incredible nib” or brush, but I find I get the best results from the metal nib.

    · Brushes—get a set to experiment with, or pick ~3 brushes that look like fun to use. No bristle. Short handle preferred. Make sure to have at least one round.

    · Light color watercolor pencil—for sketching. Pick one you can see easily on white but that will blend into most colors. Beige, yellow, or tan work well.
