Classes at Arts at Canal Place - Watercolor for Beginners

Watercolor for Beginners May 11 – June 1, 2011 Wednesdays, 6:00-8:00pm Instructor Bobbi Dubins Watercolor for Beginners A low-key, fun class designed for absolute beginners! In this hands-on introduction to watercolor painting, students will be introduced to basic techniques of watercolor such as how to accomplish the "dreamy" feeling of traditional watercolor painting, how to correct mistakes (contrary to what most people believe, you can "erase" mistakes in watercolor), how to get colors to blend together smoothly, how to paint "wet-on-wet" to get that loose, free flowing feel watercolor is known for, and other common techniques. Materials and supplies will also be discussed. Designed for those who have no experience in art or painting (or for those who are transitioning from another medium), the focus will be on getting comfortable with techniques and learning to enjoy the process of painting. Painting has many personal benefits, not the least of which is stress reduction and personal discovery. Join us for a few weeks of enjoyment, relaxation and self-discovery, as you experiment in watercolor with other "first timers". Feel free to bring snacks or drinks. Cost: $65.00 Payment is due at the time of registration. Supply Fee: If you do not already have your own supplies there is a $25 supply fee, payable to the instructor the first night of class. Class dates: Wednesdays, May 11, 18, 25, and June 1, 2011. Time: 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Maximum Class Size: Ten Contact the artist if you have questions regarding the workshop or if you will be needing supplies. 304-738-0054 bobbi@dubins.com www.dubins.com
