Watercolor 101 Cynthia
Quinn This two-day introductory Watercolor 101 painting class is designed to provide
an overview of watercolor painting. Working with a simple five pigment
system, we start by discussing pigment properties and making a color wheel. From that knowledge we will practice how to mix
any color from the five. Demos of glazing techniques, water surface and paint brush options and texture making will follow.
This class is perfect for beginners, but will help inform more advanced painters who have not learned the basics in a class.
Come get your feet wet and learn to love watercolor. Sat/Sun Aug 15 &
