Thursdays, April 3 - 24, 9:00 am - 12:30 pm - 4 Sessions

Create Beautiful Works in Watercolor 

The class will teach the use of line, form, composition, and color as a means of expression rather than strict representation. Control of the angle, moisture, paint, pressure and speed of the brush will be emphasized. Finished works will be of landscapes, flowers, still life, or insects using ink and watercolor.
