Needham Community Education

This program is for students who have had some experience in watercolor. Prior Continuing Watercolor students are welcome (all projects will be new). We will focus on the essential techniques of watercolor to take your painting skills to the next level. There will be a different project each week focusing on a particular technique, including seeing values clearly, becoming comfortable with the water to pigment ratios, color mixing, laying down nice graded washes, soft edge control, and understanding form to give your paintings a 3-dimensional feel. All the projects are demonstrated step-by-step and a video of each class is provided afterwards for review. Projects include simple landscapes, seascapes, flowers, birds, still-life fruit and vegetables. A materials list can be found here.
