GENERAL INFORMATION AND POLICIES

Nature Up Close is a great class for people who love to see patterns and color in fields, forests, and mountain trails.  This class explores basic techniques and skills in watercolor painting using different natural themes such as fruit on a branch, fallen leaves, lichen patterns on rocks and tree trunks, and light on blossoms and foliage.  In each of 4 sessions we will match technique to subject matter, producing paintings that introduce the different approaches that watercolorists use.  The goal for practicing artists is to explore new ways of painting familiar subjects, and for beginning watercolorists is to find a favorite technique.  We will all work with the same reference photos and drawings in order to learn the basics, so you will be able to use your skills with future subjects.  Be prepared for some homework, as the 3-hour sessions are for demonstrations, discussion, and starts on paintings you will work on during the week that follows the class.
