NEW‼️ Soup to Nuts Review for Every Watercolorist
Supplementary Online Course

Wednesdays, June 21, 28, July 5, 12, 2023
4:30 - 5:30 pm

Live on Zoom & Recorded
$100 per person

In this supplementary course we will review everything you need to know (and probably learned at one point) about painting in watercolor. This course is designed to answer the most asked questions by our students with applicable solutions. Recorded live on Zoom in a four-class series we will refresh students on the basics while advancing their practical knowledge of the subjects.
We will start the class with soup to nuts information demonstrated in concise exercises. In the second part we will process these concepts by applying them to a painting.

We recommend this course to all watercolorists, especially students in our current studio classes to enhance their learning experience. Suitable for all experience levels.
