​Ideal for beginners, or experienced students who might want a refresher of the basics, with a new instructor. Students will learn how to use their materials and tools in a more sophisticated way while improving their understanding of color theory. The class begins with the technical foundation of watercolor painting and its tools through experimentation, eventually adding in works from observation. Students will be encouraged to work at their own pace, while the class will move through new concepts. Please check the DAC online catalog for supply list and to register.​
