We will practice basic calligraphy strokes and see how different script styles create unique lines and textures. Participants will then apply these techniques to complete a simple seasonal ink painting—a winter branch with red berries in the snow. No experience is required.

Colored pencil painting combines the control of drawing with the richness of painting. You’ll learn how to use colored pencils along with a brush and solvent to blend colors, build layers, and create rich, textured artwork. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, this class welcomes all skill levels. If you're not confident in your drawing skills, the instructor will provide a pre-drawn image to help you get started.

Watercolor is a luminous and expressive medium that invites creativity and exploration. In this course, students will continue to develop foundational watercolor techniques—including wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, color mixing, and composition—while adding a new dimension: drawing. Basic drawing concepts will be introduced and practiced to help students create more realistic and refined watercolor paintings. With guided instruction and hands-on exercises, you'll gain the confidence and skills to bring your artistic vision to life. Let your imagination flourish as you blend drawing and watercolor into vibrant, dynamic works of art.

This course will assume some familiarity with watercolor basics such as wet-on-wet, dry brush techniques, color mixing, and brushwork, as these will not be the primary focus of instruction. If you’re new to watercolor, we recommend starting with Watercolor Foundations: A Two-Week Workshop, where these foundational skills are taught.
