In order to learn to paint in watercolor, you need the basics and in this beginner class, that's where we start. You'll learn how to use the tools of this wonderful medium as you do exercises in class every week to practice the principles of each session, plus build on what you learned the week prior. You'll learn things about composition, color theory, many "tricks" of creating different textures in watercolor, and more, all under the watchful eye of your teacher. You'll receive one-on-one attention during class and you'll learn so much about this outstanding way of painting.
These classes will be held at the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild's Gallery, 5420 E. Broadway, Ste 240, Tucson, Arizona 85711.
Pricing:
Class fee is $160, 4 weeks, 3-hour sessions
Students should bring their own supplies, see supply list for what is needed. If you want Karen to provide the supplies, that is an additional fee of $50. Advance notice on the need of supplies is required.

The classes are designed to introduce students to not only watercolor but also and more importantly, introduce them to our terrific Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild.
