Watercolor Painting at the Visual Art Institute!

Welcome to Watercolor Painting at the Visual Art Institute!

Unleash the power of dynamic watercolor painting through regular practice in our beginner and intermediate teen and adult classes (ages 12+). Watercolor has a reputation for being a difficult medium to master and our courses are designed to debunk that myth! Classes will follow both guided and self-directed projects during the semester. They are great for people needing motivation to paint, those seeking community, artists wanting to hone their skills, and beginners.

Students will learn traditional watercolor techniques and explore alternative materials, such as color mixing, value, as well as both wet on wet and wet on dry techniques.Throughout the term, students will be working on paintings from a variety of references including portraits, still-lifes, landscapes, seascapes, animals, figures, and urban scenes. Students are also given the option to work independently. Those who wish to work on their own paintings are encouraged to do so!

We also offer other adult art classes (oil painting, drawing, ceramics, and more!) and kids classes (ages 5-11).
