Watercolor for Beginners
Class Description

A low-key, fun class designed to help newcomers explore the many facets of watercolor.  

In this hands-on introduction to watercolor painting, students will be introduced to basic techniques of watercolor. Designed for those who have no experience in art or painting, the focus will be on getting comfortable with techniques and learning to enjoy the process of painting.  Painting has many personal benefits, not the least of which is stress reduction and personal discovery.  Join us for a few weeks of  enjoyment, relaxation and self-discovery, as you experiment in watercolor with other "first timers". 

Basic techniques will be covered, as well as "tips and tricks".  Special topics requested by students will be covered, if desired.  Feel free to bring a project with you that you need help with, or follow along with the weekly guided instruction and painting demonstrations.

 Feel free to bring snacks and/or beverages.

Cost: $65

There is a $25 supply fee if you need supplies (please contact Bobbi in advance, if possible)

To give you an idea of my teaching philosophy, below is an excerpt from one of my handouts for the first night of my watercolor painting class
:

Welcome to "Watercolor for Beginners"
Bobbi Dubins

Welcome to the world of watercolor!  For many of you, this is a first time experience.  My hope and expectation is that it will be a very positive one.  I remember the first watercolor class I attended.  Even though I had years of experience dabbling in art, I was still intimidated and nervous about attending my first class.  I imagined that everyone else in the class had lots of talent and knew more than I did.  That didn’t turn out to be the case and, looking back on it now, even if it were the case what difference did it make?  I paint for fun, not to compare myself to others.

     Congratulations on taking that first step into the world of watercolor!  I am confident you will find it to be a wonderful experience.

     Throughout the class we will be exploring the basics of watercolor including materials, techniques, color, value and composition.  I will be focusing on the enjoyment of painting.  For me, painting is a relaxing, even meditative, experience.  While we will be learning formal art and watercolor theory, I will be focusing on making the experience inspirational and fun.  This is essential to fostering creativity. 

       There is only one rule in this class.  No negativity is allowed.  My approach to art is to use it to reflect on the good and beautiful things in life.  My reason for teaching this class is to share the rewards of that approach with others.  As such, I appreciate your help in keeping the atmosphere of this class a positive and supportive one.
