class cost: Cost: $100 (includes supply kit) or $65 (for workshop ONLY)
• Observational Sketch and Watercolor Class for Beginners:
I teach tools and techniques rather than give step-by-step directions so the content you choose to paint is very open. I encourage students to make their paintings truly their own by adding elements and colors of their choosing, even if they don't directly reflect the source material.
Don’t worry. I’ll teach you how to break things down and give you the tools and techniques you need to have confidence in your artistic abilities!
No experience is needed! I’ll guide you through the steps and teach techniques that will help you capture the essence of the subject.
I’ve had a lot of students who think that they don’t have any artistic talent and say they ‘can only draw stick figures’ take the class and they’ve all walked away surprised at what they were able to create!
I will have several reference images available to choose from but feel free to bring an image of something you’d like to paint.
Images students have painted include pets, family members, houses, vacation locations, and landscapes.
Open to all ages who can follow instruction.
Come relaxed and bring a friend! The idea behind the class is to loosen up, have fun, learn techniques that will help you develop your own style and see the world in a new way!
