    Click here to register for the afternoon session that day that goes with this class, Having Fun with Watercolors: Beyond! 

    Designed for newbies, learn foundational tips from artist and illustrator Janet Olivet to begin your watercolor painting journey! Absolutely no experience with watercolor painting is required. In a welcoming, small-group setting, students will get plenty of time for individual practice and one-on-one guidance. By the end of class, you will recognize the different tools, understand color mixing, application techniques to create stunning effects, how to avoid "muddiness", and in the end, use all of these skills to paint your own gorgeous sunset piece.

    • Please bring a photo of a sunset you would like to paint. Janet will have some photos available that you can also work off of, or you can pull from imagination. 
    • Wear an apron or clothing you don't mind getting paint on.
    • All materials are included. In case you wish to bring your own, see the supply list link for Janet's recommended but optional supplies.
