Learn to embrace and celebrate the unpredictability, versatility, and beauty of watercolor. Class discussions cover supplies; color theory, palettes and pigment control; and various exercises and experiments to achieve different effects. The use of other media such as water-based pencil and pastels is also addressed.

Scraps saved in class from failed experiments form the basis of a mixed-media collage created during the final class. Beginning students are encouraged to focus more on the creative process—and less on results.

Previous watercolor experience is welcome but not required.
