Watercolor paintings have a unique charm that sets them apart from other forms of art. The delicate washes of color, the transparency, and the ethereal quality of watercolors make them truly special.

Join me for this 4-week class to discovery why the watercolor medium is perfect for creativity and continual learning.  Each class will have instruction, demonstration, and time for you to experience it for yourself.

Ink & Watercolors Class

6-week Drawing & Painting
Flowers with Ink & Watercolors

By Galina Hitching

Wednesdays, Sept. 24 – Oct. 29
1:00 – 3:00pm

$120 RAA members
$155 for non-members

Over the course of six weeks, we will study the basic components of flowers and gain the skills to draw any flower. Each week, we’ll study and draw new flowers. Each flower will start as a pencil sketch, then ink the drawing with a waterproof pen. After that, we’ll use watercolor, pencils, or markers to add color. The focus is on drawing the flowers, so how you add color is less important to the process. At the end of the class, you will have up to 3 completed paintings. This class is perfect for people who feel self-critical or wish they could create art but don’t think they have the skills.
