WATERCOLOR FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS
       
Painting in watercolor can be quite complicated if you dive in headfirst and try to paint a complicated photograph, for example. That's way too overwhelming, in my humble opinion!

Instead of throwing you off that deep end, I break down the skills you'll need into clearly defined, fairly simple exercises which each teach 1-2 skills. Each skill is taught within the parameter of fun, interesting, and/or beautiful exercises like the one above.

By the end of the class, you'll have a set of skills which can be combined to approach a more complicated picture or to paint Urban Sketches, for example. You'll feel confident that you understand how to use the materials well and how to apply them to achieve your desired results.
 
Tuesday mornings, 2/11 - 4/1, 9:30 - 12, maximum 12 students, minimum 8. $315 + $10 for materials. Reply to this email to sign up or for more information. (This class tends to fill quickly, so you may want to sign up early!)

 

INTERMEDIATE WATERCOLOR
 

In this perfect follow-up class to Beginning Watercolor, you’ll have a chance to learn more advanced skills to add to the fabulous repertoire you’ve already accumulated! You’ll learn to paint trees and clouds In small landscapes. You’ll work with patterns in playful pieces. You’ll learn how to paint from a photograph – and more. Plan on lots of learning, lots of fun, lots of challenges, and wonderful classmates to do it all with!
Wednesday evenings, 6:30 – 9 PM, 2/12 - 4/2, 8 weeks, $315 + $10 materials fee. Maximum 12, minimum 8 students. Email me at SusanSingerArt@msn.com to sign up or to learn more.


 

CONTINUING EDUCATION IN WATERCOLOR
Are you in love with watercolors, but stymied about how to progress now that you’ve already taken Beginning and Intermediate Watercolors? Do you need a place to help you focus weekly on your art? Are you wanting to hang out with others who love the creative process? Do you want to keep learning skills and to be presented with lessons every other week? This just might be the perfect class for you!

Every other week, through a series of fun exercises, you’ll learn or review a skill then will have an opportunity to spend time practicing it the next week. The emphasis will be on helping you develop your own artistic practice so you feel confident to paint whenever, wherever, and whatever you want to!
