Watercolor: Intermediate to Advanced (Mornings) Wednesday Class at the Visual Art Institute

Try new techniques and paint new subjects in this 9-week watercolor class!

We will review traditional watercolor techniques and explore alternative materials while challenging ourselves with a wide range of subject matters. Throughout the year, we will paint animals, figures, portraits, still lifes, landscapes, seascapes, and urban scenes. 

This term, on-going students will have the opportunity to choose their own subject matter and focus on developing their own artistic voice.  Students will be asked to provide their own references and will work with the instructor to determine the best approach. 

For those who do not want to work independently, the instructor will have a prepared lesson plan each class. This option is good for students who want to continue to build skills or who may have some time constraints.  Usually, each lesson is completed during one class period.  

This watercolor course is on-going, meaning we have new students register each term and other students opting to continue their watercolor study and practice. If you are a new student at VAI but have some painting experience, please let the process unfold. You may feel intimated in the beginning, however we work hard to meet your individual needs. Alternatively, we recommend that artists who are new to watercolor take our Beginning Watercolor (also offered on Wednesdays) before jumping into our on-going classes.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
