This class is designed for both beginning and continuing students wishing to learn the basics of traditional watercolor. Composition, value, color mixing and design are taught in an atmosphere of helpful and friendly critiquing. Students learn techniques by doing copies of instructor and other master artists' works. They then apply those techniques to their own works from nature. This class will be taught online via Zoom. Upon registration and payment for the class, the instructor will email a supply list and other print-outs to you before the class begins. Lessons will be emailed prior to each session so you will have them available to you as you are watching the demonstration and working along with the instructor.

Hybrid Class (Students may attend either in-person or via Zoom.)

Explore your imagination! In this class you will be coached through the imaginative art making process used by many artists for personal and professional commission work: idea generation, preparatory work (sketches and value design, reference, and color studies), and on to a final picture. Emphasis is placed on intent, and visual narrative. Christine’s teaching is tailored to the needs of each student, be it exploring personal themes or creating work for an illustration portfolio. Assignments can be provided or self-generated by students. Students may choose to work in the medium with which they are comfortable (digital or traditional). The first several classes will include lectures on the imaginative art process, composition, and color. During each class, work will be reviewed through Google Classroom or in-person as needed. Critiques and discussion will be done in a supportive group atmosphere. To use Google Classroom, you will need a Gmail account. This system is for class review of projects only. Limit 8 students.
