About this Event

This class is geared towards beginner watercolor artists, providing instruction on techniques to quickly grow more comfortable with the medium. Basic color theory will also be introduced as a secondary element of the 3-hour course. Participants should walk away with foundational knowledge to begin their journeys as painters.


Artists of all levels are welcome to join. If you have wanted to try watercolors but were anxious to try, or if joining a group activity appeals to you, then this class will be right down your alley. This is a low pressure, friendly environment to learn in. There will be one break at the halfway point for anyone concerned about parking.


Participants will be expected to bring their own supplies. Limited tools and materials may be provided based on need. Please contact me at [email protected] with any questions. Water and paper towels will be provided.


Required Supplies:

  • Pad of 9" x 12" Paper (300gsm recommended)
  • 2 or 3 Brushes (Synthetic recommended: Round 6 required, Round 10 & Flat 6 recommended)
  • 4 Watercolor Paints (Red, Yellow, Blue, Neutral)
  • Palettes (8+ sections total recommended)


Optional Supplies:

  • Liquid Mask (Spare brush/tool recommended for application)
  • White Paint (Gouache, acrylic, watercolor, etc)
  • Board & Tape (Results in flatter paper for slightly better results)
  • Brush Soap
  • Waterproof Pen (Sharpie or Sakura Micron recommended; Staedler is NOT waterproof)


Please see the FAQ below or reach out to me directly for questions regarding materials to bring for the class. The staff at Artist & Craftsman Supply Tacoma are also an amazing resource to create your first kit!
