This month we will focus on our beautiful desert landscape including painting some of our cactus.

Classes are nonrefundable.

The secret is out. Watercolor is EASY and FUN!!
Whether you’ve never picked up a brush before or you’ve been painting for awhile, this is for you. I am passionate about painting and especially love to paint animals, people, and flowers. Drawing skills not required!! Through Step by Step Demonstrations plus individual help you, too, will discover the joy of watercolor. Each month we will focus on a different subject and learn different techniques that can be applied to ANY subject including landscapes. You can work on your own projects or paint along with Sue. This class is open to all levels including beginners. So clear your walls because you’ll soon be hanging your own masterpieces.

Supplies

Paper - Arches or Fabriano 140# cold press. You will need a minimum of four sheets 11x15.

Brushes - My favorite are Silver Black Velvet 3000S in 4, 8, 12 (rounds) or Steve Quiller brushes made by Richeson Professional in those same sizes. I also like a small detail brush either 2/0 by Steve Quiller or Raphael Kaerell size 0 or other good detail brush.

I will provide class my complete list of colors but I tend to use a limited palette of a warm and cool of each of the primary colors. Suggested professional tube colors are Arylide Yellow, Quinacridone Gold, Quinacridone Rose (or Red Rose Deep), Cadmium Red Light, Cobalt Blue (or Ceerulean Blue), Antwerp Blue (or Ultramarine Blue or Phthalo Blue) plus Lamp Black and Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White (optional). Feel free to use whatever colors are already on your palette.

Palette, support board (slightly larger than your paper), masking or artists tape or clips to hold paper, two water containers, spray bottle, Pebeo drawing gum, Viva Paper towels or Scott shop towels.
