Better Beginners -
Continuing Watercolor Fun
Every Monday Evening
March 24 - April 28 (6 weeks)
Join Doug Mock every Monday evening March 24 - April 28 for Watercolor Classes at Arts on Main!
The Better Beginner class with Doug Mock will focus on color theory/mixing, painting subject matter that the artist chooses, (not the instructor) and pushing their skills on painting strong and appropriate values to make their artwork shine. Doug will demonstrate no more than 20 minutes each week focusing on color, techniques, tools, etc. and will spend the remaining time in class advising and assisting each artist.
Artists will continue to hone their skills and improve their artist eye while learning more color mixing theory by actually completing specific exercises provided by Doug. Artists will strengthen their confidence and have a great time engaging with other like-minded artists.
FOR AGES 16+
Students are asked to bring the watercolor supplies that they currently use to paint.
