Sundays 11:30AM-12:30PM
Course Duration: 1 month (one class per week) and ongoing.
Lesson duration: 1 hour
Prerequisite: A 30 minute video on the fundamentals of drawing (provided once you register).

Class Description
Each class will begin with an introduction to the topic. A reference image will be shown for guidance and taught step by step. This is a classical way of learning art for beginners that has been used by all master artists.

Students will first learn how to make a sketch and work with watercolor pencils. Next they will learn how to turn their watercolor drawing into a watercolor painting. This transition feels magical for many students and is an easier way to learn watercolor paining. At the end of the month, students will complete 3 to 4 art works including flowers, trees, a house, birds and berries. The projects will change monthly.

Everyone will be taught to paint original art pieces that have not been taught before at Art Studio Academy or other schools.

Students will interact with each other and the teacher in each class and will receive feedback from the teacher on their progress.
