Mixed-Level Classes: Translating the Light
Tuesdays and Fridays, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM, Weekly | $50
Open to all levels of experience. However, if you're a complete beginner, we recommend taking a beginner class first.
In this 3-hour class, instructor Betsy Jacaruso will guide you in interpreting the landscape from photo reference to a successful composition. We will explore various watercolor techniques, color mixing, and value, while encouraging each artist’s individual style and sensibility. We’ll finish with a share and discussion of our work.
Reach out if you have questions or would like us to provide supplies for your first class. After your first class, all students should bring their own supplies.
