Watercolor...from the very beginning

with Ciel Duke

Getting Started in Watercolor

"Watercolor has an undeserved reputation as being a very difficult medium to master", says Ciel Duke, watercolorist. "Not so", she continues. "It's all about learning the tricks to control the medium. Water, after all, wants to do its own thing!"

This 4-session series of classes, "Getting Started in Watercolor," begins at the very beginning: discussing paper, paints, and brushes. From there, participants will create at least one painting per class, exploring watercolor tricks and techniques in order to produce the wonderfully fresh and spontaneous look of a true watercolor.

Starting with a discussion of basic materials, participants will continue with projects designed to familiarize them with the medium of watercolor. Various watercolor techniques such as wet-on-wet, dry brush, and dragging color, along with the all-important aspect of timing, will result in a finished painting from each session. This class is designed for absolute beginners as well as those who are struggling to make watercolor work.

The class begins Monday, February 26, 2018 and runs for 4 sessions until March 19, 2018, 10 am - 12:30 in the Art Room. The $75 fee includes all materials (watercolors, palette, brushes and paper), but participants who already work in watercolor are welcome to bring their own supplies, such as a favorite brush.

The Arts & Crafts Association receives no part of the $75 fee for this class. Arts & Crafts provides the scheduling, advertising, flyers, paperwork (contracts, Release of Liability forms, class lists, sign in sheets).
