Watercolor for Total Strangers: A Gentle 3-week Introduction
We’ll keep things simple, approachable, and enjoyable while building good painting habits and exploring basics from the very beginning.
No experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and willingness to try!
General Information
These muti-session watercolor workshops are usually offered on Sundays. If you’d like to hear about upcoming workshops, please feel free to ask to be added to my email list.
Each workshop is limited to 10 participants, with a minimum of 5 participants needed to run the session.
(Private painting gathering is also available.)
All you need is a set of watercolor tube paints for the workshop, the studio will provide all the rest materials needed for the class. Feel free to bring your own watercolor paper, brushes and palette if you are use to them.
Each 90-minite lesson centers on a new “project of the week.” You’ll follow a step-by-step demonstration and leave with a completed postcard-sized (5" x 7") painting every time you visit the studio. By the end of the session, you’ll have a collection of the finished pieces, along with a set of techniques to help you continue painting at home or taking lessons online.
For Returning Participants: You’ll have the opportunity to refine your skills by working on a new series of paintings alongside the rest of the class.
