Art Class Guided Watercolor with Rusty Harden (step-by-step guidance)

In this 1.5-hour online watercolor class we’ll start with a foundation of watercolor skills including water control, color mixing, and key techniques. Rusty will guide you with gentle encouragement and a relaxed atmosphere. You are encouraged to ask questions. Learning is a process and should not be stressful.

We will sketch the subject together during class. I strongly encourage you to have your paper no larger than 8 x 10. Larger paintings often require more than the 1.5-hour class time. Sometimes we will complete a painting in less than the 1.5 hour scheduled class time. I try to have a bonus floral painting exercise that is simple and fun.

Supplies are simple but enjoy what watercolor supplies that you have. My supply list is basically 140lb Arches cold press watercolor paper, #4 round watercolor brush, a spray bottle to mist paints and paper, masking tape, water cup, paper towel, watercolor paint. A hair blow dryer to dry paper. I always talk about my supplies at the beginning of each class.

Most paintings are 5" x 7" and easily completed in a 1.5-hour class. Each painting targets and reinforces techniques.
