Class Experience

We're so excited to be offering a watercolor painting class for kids!  If your child loves to paint, we know he/she will love this new class.  Students will learn fine arts painting techniques using watercolor paint of various kinds (watercolor pencils, watercolor pan and tube paint, and gouache paint.   This is an amazing variety!

Students draw what they paint so this class has the added advantage of teaching both drawing and painting.  We explore color strategies such as complimentary color schemes as well as color concepts, drawing and painting principles, brush techniques, mixing colors, and additional painting techniques that help students develop and enhance their painting skills. 

Students learn by following the instructor in guided drawing and painting.  The class is offered in person and is 2 hours long.  All art materials are supplied and a $30 materials fee is added at registration.
