Virtual Watercolor I Advanced will be a continuation of the fundamentals of drawing and Watercolor painting from Fall Sessions in 2025. It will also be an introductory course for those new to painting. During our time together, we will familiarize ourselves with the materials, terms and concepts related to watercolors as our primary medium. There will be demonstrations and lectures on drawing and painting techniques, and practical exercises to help us become familiar and confident with all our materials and tools. We will have painting projects from botanical studies to a final research project. These projects encourage each student to use their own critical and creative talents to develop paintings that unify the skills and techniques learned in class.

Please make sure to provide a mailing address to receive all supplies via mail.
