Beginning and experienced artists are invited to join instructor Larry Charles for four Tuesday morning classes in January. Charles will teach you the techniques for creating more realistic watercolors. Each class begins with a step-by-step demonstration, followed by you creating the same watercolor as he mentors you through the process. Techniques will include overlapping washes, more accurate color mixing, reflections, faces, shadows and proportions.

These classes are ideal for students of all skill levels who wish to create more life-like images. Expect to complete one or two finished watercolrs per class.
