  • Exploring Water Color; 3-part Painting SeriesApr 2-16 (10 a.m. to noon) | Gypsum

    This three-part watercolor series meets on Thursdays in April for 2-hour sessions designed to build skills, and creative flow.

    Each class stands on its own while also layering techniques from week to week, making it welcoming for beginners and enriching for returning painters.

    Participants will explore foundational watercolor techniques such as color mixing, brush control, layering, and expressive mark-making, with guided demonstrations followed by relaxed, hands-on painting time.

    By the end of the series, students will have completed multiple finished pieces and gained a stronger understanding of watercolor materials and processes,all in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

    Cost: $100 includes instruction and all supplies, so participants can simply show up and paint.
