Watercolor Without Fear (Adults)

Watercolor can feel intimidating—until you understand how it works.

If you've always wanted to try watercolor but weren't sure where to begin—or you've tried it before and felt frustrated—this class is for you.

Designed for complete beginners and anyone looking to build confidence, this 7-week course introduces essential watercolor techniques through relaxed, step-by-step instruction. You'll learn how watercolor behaves, how to guide it, and how to work with its natural flow instead of fighting it.

Together, we'll explore washes, layering, color mixing, texture, value, and composition through projects inspired by nature, still life, landscapes, and imagination. Along the way, you'll discover how watercolor's transparency and fluidity can create effects that are difficult to achieve in any other medium.

Each class combines demonstration, guided practice, and personal exploration—helping you move from uncertainty to confidence while developing your own creative style.

During class, you'll:

  • Learn essential watercolor techniques, including washes, layering, and color mixing
  • Practice guiding water, pigment, and brushwork with confidence
  • Explore texture, value, and composition through engaging projects
  • Create finished paintings to take home each week
  • Build the confidence to continue painting on your own

No experience is needed. All watercolor paints, brushes, paper, and supplies are included.
