11/17/20 - Watercolor Adventures

Registration is required.    Registration deadline is 10pm GMT on Sunday 11/15.  Meeting link and class information/handouts will be sent via email no later than 12pm GMT on Monday 11/16.

This class is perfect for those new to watercolor, and those wanting to explore the different ways to use watercolors and not be stressed out with trying to achieve perfectionism! I’ve put off teaching this class for a long time because I don’t feel I’ve mastered watercolors (I’m not sure anyone has…) – but I can tell you that I am loving what I’m learning and would love to share that with you!

So, invite a friend and come explore watercolors in this new weekly online class that will take place every Tuesday from 6:30pm-8:30pm. We will explore different techniques, basic color theory, pen & ink, and whatever else we come up with!  No previous experience necessary!

To make this a successful class, here is your "To Do" List:  

1. Download the ZOOM app on your device.  

2. Find a quiet area for your creative space.  

3. Gather the following recommended supplies for your creative space: 

Apron, 1”Flat Brush, #8 Round Brush, a smaller Round Brush  

2 water containers

Quality Watercolor paint (see notes below)

Dr Phil Martins Bleed Proof White or White gouche paint

Pebeo Drawing Gum or Masking Fluid

Paper Towels, Kleenex (or toilet paper) Watercolor paper (Canson cold press)  

An old kitchen towel

Painters Tape

Spray bottle with water

Sturdy surface to tape paper down on (I have a thin piece of hardwood, but I’ve used cardboard, and foamboard) 

A plastic table cloth to cover your work area (Dollar Store)

Fine Sharpie pen   

NOTES:  I have both the watercolor in tubes, and some Jane Davenport Pans. You’ll want a good quality paint, but that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank! Spokane Art Supply has a filled palette with 14 M. Graham colors and 1 or 2 round paint brushes for under $40. (they took the tubes of paint and made these pallets, so good quality paint was affordable to students). This is a great deal and will last you a long time! If you don’t live in the Spokane area, you can still order this filled palette by calling them at 509-327-6628 or email at info@spokaneartsupply.com. Otherwise, you can get some affordable watercolors at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or Amazon.

Cancellation Policy: 7 days notice prior to class is required for refund (less $5) or transfer to another class.
