This beginning/intermediate watercolor class will be a relaxing and enjoyable introduction to the art of watercolor painting. Our friendly instructor, Randi Mackey, is an Iowa Watercolor Society Signature member. She puts fun into the process of painting while making the beginning painter feel comfortable and relaxed as their confidence builds through her instruction. Drawing or sketching skills are not required. Students will follow Randi’s step-by-step demonstrations to learn to mask the birds, perform watercolor pouring and practice negative painting for the leaves in the cruciform. The process is loose and fun. She enjoys sharing basic techniques for handling this paint medium as well as some extra tips and tricks for experimentation. Q&A sessions occur throughout the day as needed. This will be a quarter sheet painting 15x11” on Arches 300 lb paper. All supplies will be furnished.
Randi’s goal is to help each student achieve confidence with watercolor and create paintings they wish to frame and enjoy for years. Our art classes fill up quickly, so don’t hesitate to register if you are interested.
