Wednesday Watercolor will keep you ignited in the medium of watercolor and connected to a community of artists. Join Jennie for an 8-week online session of watercolor, focused within the constraint of plants as subject matter. She will guide you through recorded demo lessons each week on a different topic related to watercolor and plants. You'll receive a recorded demo every Thursday in your inbox which you can watch, and work to, at your leisure. Every following Wednesday night, at 8pm, we will convene on a Zoom meeting where we can share our works, discuss, ask questions, see live demos as needed, and stay connected.

Perfect for more mature tweens through teens who want to study with another student. Emphasis is placed on drawing as a foundation for all artistic endeavors, with consideration of each student's personal vision and goals. While children will be taught a more general curriculum with a broad exposure in many different media, themes, styles, and approaches, teen and adult study will be more narrowly focused on an individual basis. Jennie will work with you to identify available supplies.

WATERCOLOR BASICS AND BEYOND
Wednesdays 12:30 - 3pm SEMESTER HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD Take a deep dive into understanding how to work with watercolors, starting with the basics. Explore watercolor tools, surfaces, techniques, and painting from a very portable perspective—using supplies that can follow you from home to the studio and then on the road. Subject matter will include simple still life objects, photo references, and art references. Students will learn to perceive, mix, and paint local color, utilizing a limited color palette, as well as see values and use drawing to help improve your work. More advanced students can participate in the beginner exercises as a refresher or work independently with the instructor’s guidance.

LOOSENING UP IN WATERCOLOR
Thursdays 7:00pm - 9:30pm SEMESTER HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD Watercolor is generally considered a loose medium, but many end up working with it more tightly. If you’re dreaming of letting go, join us as we use the element of time and some of the principles of figure drawing to develop a sense of immediacy, conveying subjects with only the most essential information. Subject matter will vary with preference for still life objects over photo references. Students will have the opportunity to paint from the figure at the end of the session. The class emphasizes exercise-driven work rather than finished pieces to help build fluidity and confidence in painting.

I may have other interested students on a wait list and might be able to form another session. Or, private lessons are a possibility. Do I need to bring supplies? Supplies are included in your quarterly registration fee, unless otherwise noted. A sketchbook is recommended. Students who register for the full year in the fall will receive a sketchbook.
