Verge Center for the Arts

Explore the wild side of watercolor! This course will introduce you to the unpredictable nature of working with water media. Beginners as well as advanced painters are welcome to explore what watercolor can do! We will begin with wet-on-wet techniques to paint flowers, dive into mixing watercolor with other materials such as dye, crayons, and gouache to create shape arrangements, and learn to use masking to create pattern and text pieces.

Anyone age 16 and over is welcome! Some drawing experience is recommended but not required.

WHEN: July 11, 18 & 25, 5:30-8:30 PM

WHERE: Verge Center for the Arts
