Watercolor has something special about it: it can capture movement and light, and you can take it anywhere with you!
Join us for a four-week watercolor basics class that gives you a hands-on introduction to the medium. We’ll explore essential techniques, color mixing, composition, brushwork, and the unique qualities that make watercolor so expressive.

6:00 PM – 9:00 PM.
$200.00 per person - Supplies not included
Beginner to Advanced
This isn't a class about finishing a pretty picture — it's a class about learning to see truly. Over four weeks, we'll slow down and build the habits that separate painters who guess from painters who know.
We'll train the eye through the profound squint, understand how color and value relate, and map light, temperature, and space with intention, not instinct.
Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or have been painting for years, we'll meet you where you are. We'll work in both oils and acrylics, tackling composition and balance, linear and atmospheric perspective, and the honest, humbling work of self-critique — because real growth in painting comes from recognizing the problem, not covering it up.
This is a process-first studio. Come ready to squint, question, remix, and commit to looking closer than you ever have before.
What we'll cover: Balanced composition vs. imbalanced design; The Profound Squint; Color and value relationships; linear & atmospheric perspective; Value mapping & temperature mapping; Color mixing
