@ This class meets for 8 sessions from Monday, January 26 through Monday, March 30 with a two week break from February 16-23. In the event of inclement weather, this class will meet on Zoom. This class is eligible for access rates. Join us for an engaging 8-week watercolor journey designed to build strong foundational skills while encouraging you to confidently develop your own creative voice. This workshop blends structured learning with the freedom of personal exploration—much like a guided studio session. Each week, we’ll focus on a key watercolor technique or concept, supported by live demonstrations, group activities, and thoughtfully selected reference images to spark ideas. You’ll have dedicated time to apply what you’ve learned to your own work, with opportunities for both one-on-one guidance and supportive group feedback. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your understanding of watercolor, this class offers a nurturing environment to experiment, grow, and connect with fellow artists. During the final class session, participants will showcase their artwork in a celebration of their progress, creativity, and growth throughout the course. Come paint, play, learn, and share your artistic voice! Click here to access the materials list for this class.
