This beginner’s course concentrates on using three primary colors and Payne’s gray to create a variety of shades and tones. Learn how to mix colors using a limited palette and how much water to use. An attachment of the subject to be painted along with a Zoom invitation will be sent before each class.

Bring a watercolor pad, brushes, pencil, paper towel, and tubes or pans of red, yellow ochre, cerulean blue, and Payne’s gray for the first class.
