Active Adult Programs
The Nature of Watercolor
Ages 18+
Painting with watercolors is unpredictable,
accidental, and addictive. The medium
has fascinated artists for decades. In our
beginner class, we take the fear out of the
art with a step-by-step approach to mixing
and applying paint, including wet in wet and
dry brush techniques; washes; glazes; and
how to create those glowing effects. ns
