Intermediate Watercolor

$165

with Jennifer Linskey, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Calendar Jun 25, 2024 at 1 pm, runs for 10 weeks

What constitutes an intermediate watercolorist, you ask? You’ve dabbled. You understand wet on wet and splosh pigment and water around happily. You have some idea what your pigments will do and a general understanding of when to stop adding water, yet you'd like more practice. You've had some basic drawing experience, and you're okay with putting pencil to paper to “rough in” your composition (get the basic shapes down), or if your drawing is a bit rusty you are willing to keep working on drawing skills. You are excited to explore, experiment more with watercolor techniques, and expand your watercolor skillset. If this is who you are, then intermediate watercolor is a fit for you. In this class we’ll be working from both observation and abstraction. *No Class: 8/20.
