If you have always wanted to test the waters of this medium, join watercolor artist and instructor Cheryl Meyer in this introductory six-week skill-building class. She will cover watercolor basics such as painting paper and canvas, various brush strokes and techniques, watercolor pencils, color theory, and mixing colors. This class will also cover hard versus soft edges, wet on wet, dry on dry, pouring, glazing, spritzing, masking techniques, correcting mistakes, value sketches, and methods of putting the drawing on paper. Students will experiment with each technique and make a color chart of mixed colors. This course is perfect for beginners who are ready to begin their journey in watercolors! No experience is needed and all supplies are provided.

The final project will be a take-home project using all the techniques presented.

This course will be held weekly from 2-4 pm on Tuesdays, October 15-November 19 in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway, Mt Pleasant, MI.
