Join us for a beginner-friendly series designed to take you from the very basics to a finished painting. Through guided\, step-by-step lessons\, you will get comfortable with essential materials\, explore foundational color concepts\, and practice simple techniques before moving into sketching\, layering washes\, refining details\, and completing a full piece. It's perfect for true beginners or anyone looking to refresh their skills.\n\nIn this class\, you will get an introduction to core supplies\, fundamental techniques like wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry\, and basic color theory through hands-on exercises and approachable projects. You will learn how to work with different brushes\, mix colors effectively\, and understand how water and pigment interact to create a wide range of effects.\n\n  \n\n\nTopics\n\n\n	Supplies: The class will cover the basics of what you need\, such as types of paper\, paints\, and brushes\, and how to choose them.\n	Fundamental techniques: You will learn core skills\n	\n		Washes: Creating smooth\, even coats of color.\n		Wet-on-wet: Applying wet paint to a wet surface for soft\, blended effects.\n		Wet-on-dry: Painting wet paint onto a dry surface for more controlled and sharp lines.\n		Glazing: Layering transparent washes of paint to build up color and depth.\n		Dry brushing: Using a brush with very little water to create textured\, broken marks.\n	\n	\n	Color theory: You'll explore the color wheel\, how to mix colors to create a wide palette\, and how to use color for harmony and value.\n	Brushwork: You will practice different types of brushstrokes to develop control and confidence with your tools.\n	Creative exercises: Expect simple exercises to experiment with materials and techniques\, such as creating value scales\, color charts\, and practicing basic shapes.  \n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n	Hands-on practice: The class will involve a lot of hands-on work\, allowing you to experiment with how water and paint interact.\n	Guided projects: You will likely work on a few guided\, simple projects that put your new skills to the test.\n	Tips and tricks: Bev will share valuable tips and shortcuts they have learned over time.
