Exploring Watercolor Painting Techniques, Friday’s October 4-November  1, 10-noon

This class is for students who have already learned the foundations of watercolor and would like to learn how to combine new tools and techniques to take their paintings to the next level. You will take creative approaches to your paintings using a single edge razor blade, an old credit card, as well as straws and other materials. You will create a landscape, a seascape, a country stream, along with other projects.  Stanley Gilmore, $110 ($120)
