Beginner Watercolor for Adults

Over six weeks, participants will learn essential watercolor techniques, including brushwork and control, color mixing and blending, and water and pigment balance. Students will also learn how to create washes, gradients, and composition with layering techniques. The class will focus on developing confidence and creative expression each week, building on foundational skills. By the end of the course, students will have completed several watercolor pieces and developed their painting style.
