Watercolor Studio combines structured instruction with guided independent work. Each session features a specific theme, such as color or value, beginning with 45 minutes of instruction, exercises, and demonstrations.

This class is for those who have taken watercolor classes before—preferably a workshop with the instructor or the beginning watercolor class. *No Class: 5/26.
