An Introduction to the World of Watercolor

with John McLaren

This class will be a mix of discussion, demonstration, and numerous exercises.

When you're done you will...

* be better prepared for making intelligent selection of your materials - paints, brushes, and surfaces.

* have a firm understanding of the difference between watercolor and other wet mediums, and what makes watercolor so unique and mysterious.

* know the truth about many of the 'myths' surrounding watercolor and find out why 'color' is NOT the most important characteristic of watercolor paint

* see how watercolor can open a whole new chapter in your creative process.

There is nothing you need to bring, but feel free to bring any watercolor materials that you might have questions about.
