Taking the long view with the close at hand.
Create watercolor paintings in the studio that become more than a collection of objects. Using the basic principles of landscape painting, students will learn to view drapes as hills and valleys, small organic objects as rocks and foliage, and tables as vast horizons. It's all in how you look at it! All levels welcome to get back into painting while visions of summer still dance in our heads. Bring those outdoor experiences inside to the table to liven up your Fall stokes on paper.

Classes limited to 10 students to insure individual attention. All classes meet on the 3rd floor of the St. Louis Aritists Guild, Two Oak Knoll Park, Clayton, MO 63105.

Adventures In Watercolor

with Judy Seyfert

Saturday, September 20th
Time: 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
St. Louis Artists’ Guild
Two Oak Knoll Park
Clayton, MO
Cost: $85

Your adventure begins with demonstrations and a “hands on” approach to watercolor. Watercolor can be both simple and complex. By using a practical approach and a limited palette, students will learn traditional painting techniques to make expressive, luminous paintings. Group and individual instruction will be given to promote confidence and encourage self expression.

This class is designed for those students just starting in watercolor and for the already experienced watercolorist who wants a refresher course. Students will learn that even though watercolor is wet and sometimes wild, it can be controlled. Basic watercolor techniques will be covered such as applying a wash, working wet on wet, paint to water ratio, textures, and mixing paint. This class will be a time for personal growth and cultivating your artistic spirit.
