You know the basics now we dive deeper. Only 6 seats are available for this class. You will get direct and one-on-one instruction and guidance from Dawn Scannell, your watercolor instructor.

We will be working on monochromatic studies, master copies, color theory & composition.

Perfecting our basic techniques - mark making, glazing & water control.

We will also dabble in a bit of multi-media where the playground gets even spicer!
