SUMMER WATERCOLOR CLASSES

Let’s get together and have some real fun with our art this summer.  The goal will be to enhance our ability in the basic and essential watercolor techniques.  Each week we will be studying, practicing, and applying one of several important painting skills.  Improvement in each of these will make your future paintings more successful. Every class will be a complete lesson in itself, with a finished painting being the goal.  A variety of landscapes will be our subject, but if there is interest florals could be included also.  Step-by-step instruction, reference photos and even outline sketches will be provided.

Sign up for classes individually or for the entire course.    If you sign up for the whole summer, one class is free!  You may mix days and locations to better fit your schedule, but check with Ann first to make sure there is space available.

 * Tuition is $30 per 3-hour class or $300 for the whole summer ($30 savings).
 *All classes are from 10 am – 1 pm.  Because of large enrollment for the Bellevue morning class, an second session has been made available from 2-5 pm--come join us!
 *To register, click on the CLASS SIGN-UP FORM above.  Print the form, indicating which
   classes you would like to attend, and send in the form along with tuition.
 *While registration in advance is preferred, drop-ins are welcome if there is an empty seat.
