Watercolor Painting
James Wolf
4 weeks / Mondays, July 8 - 29 / 1 - 3 pm

This watercolor class will take students through painting from nature, still life, the human form and pure abstraction.

Artists should plan on developing small, elemental studies to enhance techniques needed for executing fully finished paintings.

Bring your own photos and materials and at least four small canvases or supports to the first class.
