Dive into the dreamy, fluid world of watercolor in this fun, artsy beginner class! Perfect for first-time painters and curious creatives, this course is all about exploring how watercolor moves, blends, and blooms on the page.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through the essentials. Discovering how paint behaves, building your own vibrant color chart, and layering washes in a glazing exercise that brings depth and dimension to your work. Along the way, you’ll experiment, play, and gain confidence with every brushstroke.

By the end of the class, all those techniques come together as you create your very own finished watercolor masterpiece. Come ready to get a little messy, embrace the unexpected, and let the water do its magic.
