A104 Watercolor & Acrylic Sampler

Level A – All levels welcome.

This adult painting class offers a creative introduction to two water mediums — watercolor and acrylic — with guided instruction, hands-on experimentation, and personal expression. Each session focuses on core techniques, such as blending, layering, brush handling, and composition, while exploring a range of subject matter from abstract to representational. You will build confidence in both media through focused exercises and complete a small work of art each day. Whether you’re a total beginner or looking to refresh your skills, this class invites you to explore painting with curiosity and creativity. Supplies will be provided.
