*Watercolor*
Adults
Tuesdays 10:00am - 12:00pm
Jan 19 - March 23
Instructor - Borianna Kantcheva
$374
This class is for everyone who would like to experience watercolors. It will offer a number of projects that use this medium in an experimental and very enjoyable way from learning to use stencils, layers, salt and a variety of texture creating materials. In addition to exploring the medium of watercolor, students will find inspiration in the natural world. Often what one finds in their backyard or while walking on the beach can be all the inspiration needed for a new project. Rocks, branches, fallen leaves and birds are all fair game. And even though we will find inspiration in nature students can choose to work in a more abstract and lyrical way.
