Step by Step Watercolor—Level 1 with Erica Qualey: Back by popular demand!

Tuesdays, August 17, 24, 31 and September 7 from 6 – 8 pm (ET)
Online via Zoom

This class is suitable for beginning watercolor painters who have perhaps picked up a brush, but don’t know where to go next. During each session, Erica provides step-by-step instructions on how to paint each beautiful scene in an easy and approachable way. Prior to the workshop, you will receive a .pdf of the underdrawing which you can trace or use as a guide to draw your own, a materials list, as well as a video showing how to get yourself set up and ready to paint.  So, grab your paint brushes and join our watercolor painting group! We will be painting our way through the winter blues. Erica will lead you through live, interactive watercolor paint-alongs, via ZOOM, sharing lots of tips and techniques each session to help you grow your watercolor skills. No experience necessary, open to all skill levels.
