This series is composed of four classes that are designed to give participants a better understanding of techniques that are used to make watercolor paintings. Classes will be taught by the talented professional Faye Barber-Schmuhl.

The goal of this class is to get interested participants working towards creating original, quality work. Students will experiment with their choice of subject matter and develop their own style.

Each class will include a how to demo, all of the of one-on-one guidance needed, lots of time for questions and answers, and a final critique.

Some materials will be included, but each participant should have their own watercolor supplies, such as paints, brushes, paper and drawing supplies (supply list is available if interested, email instructor at fschmuhlie@gmail.com).
