  • Draw inspiration from varied subject matter encompassing still life compositions, photographic references, and expressive studies of flora, fauna, and floral subjects
  • Build a comprehensive toolbox of essential watercolor painting techniques, including pencil work, color mark-making, wet-on-wet methods, wet-on-dry approaches, dry brush application, variegated washes, splatter effects, watercolor dripping, glazing techniques, color theory and mixing, plus many additional methods
  • Learn from step-by-step watercolor demonstrations, guided lessons, and expert instruction
  • Discover how to synthesize watercolor techniques with your authentic personal expression and develop your distinctive artistic voice
  • Complete multiple finished watercolor paintings you will feel proud to display or gift
  • Access the scientifically documented therapeutic benefits of watercolor painting, including deep relaxation, measurable stress reduction, enhanced memory function, and increased creative satisfaction

Returning students enjoy fresh projects each session; we never repeat previous demonstrations and continuously introduce new advanced techniques for continued growth.

You will need to bring:

  • Watercolor paper (your preferred size; ideally 140 lbs weight, though 90 lbs will also work)

  • Mixing palette for blending colors
  • Watercolor brush set (include a variety of round and flat brush shapes)
  • Water container or glass jar for brush rinsing
  • Painter's blue masking tape for securing paper
  • Pencil for preliminary sketching and composition
  • Eraser for making corrections and adjustments
  • Sakura Pigma Micron fine-tip black pen for details and linework

Refund Policy

Class tuition is neither refundable nor transferable. No refunds will be issued after registration and payment. In case of a Medically Certified illness, a credit will be issued after receipt of your physician’s documentation. The value of the credit will be for the balance of the remaining class sessions with an additional deduction of a $95 registration fee. Credit may be used up to 12 months.

If after your first class you are dissatisfied with the quality of your course, a written note must be submitted within 1 business day after your first class. After receiving your note, refund of class tuition will be reviewed by our staff. If a refund is granted, processing of refunds requires 8-10 weeks. A 5% nonrefundable processing fee will be applied.

Course Cancellations

Although course cancellation is quite rare, The school reserves the right to cancel classes or change instructor assignments and makes every effort to notify students in advance. If enrollment goals are not met, a course may be canceled up to 1 business day before the first scheduled class. In the event of cancellation, a refund or credit is granted. On occasion, a course start-date will be pushed back if enrollment goals are not met. In this instance, you will receive a credit for the price of the class that did not take place.

Please note that there will be NO exceptions to this under any circumstances.

Make-up Policy

Unfortunately, The school does not offer any makeups for classes missed. However, if the student wants to get the most from the course and the absence, they can tell the instructor when they will be absent and the instructor can provide some guidance on exercises to practice while away.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
