In four Tuesday afternoon workshops, instructor Larry Charles will guide you through the techniques for creating more realistic watercolor paintings. Each class begins with a step-by-step instructor demonstration. Then you will create the same painting, as Charles provides individual mentoring. Topics include how to mix colors; proportions and composition; correcting mistakes; and getting more realistic landscapes, still life, and people. Expect to complete one quick sketch and one finished art picture during each class.
