What you'll learn in this watercolor class:

Learn how to combine the contrast and detail of pen and ink and the vibrancy of watercolor to create bold, exciting illustrations full of color and texture! We'll start off playing around with basic texturing techniques in both watercolor and ink, and then experiment with how we can combine those techniques to create realistic textures such as skies, soil, trees, fur, glass, metal, water, and more. Demos of specific textures will be open to student requests.

Refund Policy

Workshop fees (minus a processing fee) are refundable up until one week prior to the program. 

If the Director of IT and Administration is notified at least one week prior to the scheduled start date, a processing fee of $50 is charged for dropping adult classes, YFA classes, or workshops costing $100 or more or a $25 processing fee is charged for dropping programs costing under $100. 

A processing fee equal to 50% of the tuition is charged for adult or YFA classes and camps that are dropped during the period from six days before the first class meets and the next working day after the first class has met (workshop fees are not refundable during this period). Please refer to the chart below. 

Students are responsible for notifying the Art Center Director of IT and Administration that they wish to drop a class or workshop; not attending class does not constitute an official withdrawal from courses or cancellation of tuition or fees. If you must drop a class or workshop after the deadline, no refunds will be given.
