Class Fee: $90 + $20 Materials Fee
In this two-week course, participants will learn a unique approach to watercolor, intended to address the frustration that many feel with this challenging medium. We will focus on strengthening one’s observational skills and fundamental drawing techniques, giving the artist a foundation off of which to build their paintings.
Our unifying subject will be gorgeous fresh produce – fruits, veggies and herbs. These subjects are great for beginners and experienced artists alike; their organic shapes make them forgiving drawing subjects, but their beauty can be a muse for life.
Instructor Hannah Day is a passionate produce lover and botanical painter and will share her unique approach to rendering botanicals. This class will work from life, practicing observational drawing in addition to watercolor technique.
Participants will have the opportunity to develop their skills and build muscle memory with a medium that often feels like it has a mind of its own. Beginning artists and repeat students welcome.
