Watercolor for Adults (AM)

If you have dabbled with watercolors in the past, if you currently paint with watercolors and wish to try new techniques and subject matters or if you are a current student would like to register for another term, this class is for you.

We will continue to review traditional watercolor techniques and explore alternative materials while challenging ourselves with a wide range of subject matters. Throughout the year, we will paint animals, figures, portraits, still lifes, landscapes, seascapes, and urban scenes.

This term, we will slow our pace down and will focus on developing larger or more challenging paintings. Students will be asked to provide their own references and will work with the instructor to determine the best approach. The instructor will offer additional reference materials as well as suggestions on composition and subject matters. If desired, a student may choose to use recommended reference from the instructor’s resources.

This watercolor course is ongoing, meaning we have new students register each term and other students opting to continue their watercolor study and practice. If you are a new student at VAI but have some painting experience, please let the process unfold. You may feel intimated in the beginning, however we work hard to meet your individual needs. Alternatively, we recommend that artists who are new to watercolor take our 8-week course, Beginning Watercolor, before jumping into our on-going classes. For supply list click: HERE
