Youth Maker Monday: Mastering Watercolor (Ages 12-16)

Take watercolor painting to a whole new level with this experimental class for all skill levels.

About this Class

Adding plastic wrap, salt, and rubbing alcohol to paint? Yes! In this class, students will master the elusive medium of watercolor as we progress from experimentation studies to a complete composition. We will cover the unique abilities of this fun and challenging art medium. Students will learn to stretch watercolor paper like a canvas and explore more than a dozen watercolor painting techniques.

"You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognize it, how to control it." - Helen Frankenthaler
