Explore the expansive possibilities of watercolor painting in contemporary art through experimentation with traditional and innovative techniques. This course emphasizes formal visual elements, including scale relationships, compositional structure, paint application strategies, the interplay between transparent and opaque applications, and sophisticated color mixing and theory. Beyond technical skill, students examine what creates emotional resonance in artwork and the factors that draw viewers to particular compositions. The course encourages deliberate rule-breaking and experimentation with unconventional approaches to watercolor, pushing beyond standard techniques to discover your unique artistic voice. Individual artistic development and personal growth are central to the curriculum. All experience levels are welcome to participate.

Holidays & Canceled Lessons:
We are closed for Thanksgiving, winter, and spring break. If we must close due to the weather, we will send out an email.
