@ Register Here $105 Non-Member / $84 Member Thursdays, October 29, November 5, 12, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Dip your toes into watercolor by exploring our beautiful Sonoran desert subjects, from sunsets to cacti. This three-part series will teach you a touch of desert-relevant color observation, as well as watercolor fundamentals. Please provide your own art supplies. Recommended art supplies: a tube of pthalo blue (or any tealy-blue, cyan color) a tube of quinacridone rose (or any rose, magenta-y color) a tube of azo yellow (or any lemony yellow color) watercolor paper (Instructor likes Bee brand, it is cheap and good quality, carried by Michael’s or Walmart. Canson is also good.) pencil and pen (I recommend a mechanical pencil, just for quick sketches of subject before painting) a kneaded eraser (optional) instructor Hannah White Hannah M. White, Tucson-born nerd and lover of technical tangents, started taking classes with TDS in middle school. Determined to make art her career, she earned a bachelor’s in illustration (UA) and a master’s in biomedical visualization (UIC)-which her TDS experience helped to shape. She returns remotely to share her love of art. When not teaching, she’s writing stories, sketching scientific posters, or designing imaginative characters and worlds. Her favorite thing to draw is people. Refund & Cancellation Policy No refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class. A $10 cancellation fee will be applied to all refunds.
