Portraits in Watercolor

Tuesdays, June 2 – 16 / 5:30 – 8:30 pm

Students will enjoy a quick introduction to watercolors (brush techniques, wash techniques, etc.) and a discussion about the history and practice of portraiture. Students will trace personal images onto their watercolor paper using a projector. Class demonstrations will help guide students towards their finished piece.
