    Intermediate–Advanced. [Prerequisite: Must have previous watercolor experience; no drawing skills required.] This  watercolor class is an up close look at what is happening on the paper when water and then color is applied. Learn water management, wet-on-wet, glazing, and dry brushing, so you can learn to control watercolor as much as possible. Mistake making is encouraged to learn how to fix it. Students will complete two paintings in this 6-session class as each class builds on the previous class. Bring any supplies you already have, a supply list will be attached in your confirmation email. Special paper from the instructor will be available for a small fee.

    This class is for those first timers wanting to experience watercolor or someone who wants to expand beginning skills. Have fun exploring the enchantment of water and paint in their irresistible dance. As with all painting, a little drawing experience is helpful. Feel free to bring supplies you may already have or wait for suggestions on what you may want to purchase. Some basic supplies are furnished. We will discuss preparing paper to paint, brushes and their technique, some color theory — but mostly we will jump in the water, and do it!

    How to Paint (and Use) a Color WheelSaturday, November 12, 19, December 3, 17

    10:00am–12:30 pm

    Instructor: Cindy Bear

    IDPH & CDC face mask guidelines will be observed.

    [Prerequisite: Must have previous watercolor experience; no drawing skills required.] Our color choices will give life to forms, describe moods or feelings, emphasize a focal point, give a sense of perspective and re-create texture in your painting. We will learn the various terms used to describe color, value, chroma, and hue. Once we understand these terms we can talk about how to manipulate each of these to create beautiful watercolor paintings. So come take a trip around the color wheel, and beyond, to learn how to confidently choose color. 

    Participants should bring a palette with both warm and cool versions of red, yellow, and blue, plus burnt & raw sienna, and indigo; paint brushes, pencil, colored pen and paper. A supply list will be attached in your confirmation email. Special paper from the instructor will be available for a small fee.
