Upcoming Workshops
Beginning Watercolor, March 28-20 (limit 8)
Donna Engstrom
If you’ve ever wanted to try watercolor but weren’t sure where to start, this is the class for you! Whether you’re a complete beginner or just looking to refresh your skills, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the essentials of watercolor painting in a fun and supportive environment.
Learn the magic of color mixing (and how to avoid making that dreaded "mud"!), discover the power of brushwork, and explore exciting texture techniques that will make your paintings pop! You'll also dive into the art of working with masking fluid to preserve highlights and experiment with both wet and dry techniques to create stunning effects.
We’ll even introduce you to the world of collage—showing you how to incorporate texture and unexpected elements into your artwork for an added creative boost! By the end of the class, you’ll have a solid foundation in the basics, plus the confidence to explore and experiment with your own unique style.
Get ready to unleash your inner artist, have fun, and watch your watercolor skills grow—no experience necessary! Let’s make your first watercolor experience a memorable and inspiring one!

This will be a mixed media adventure where no idea is too wild and no medium is off-limits. Expect to dive into a creative frenzy, experimenting with layers, textures, and vibrant colors as you unleash your inner artist.
