Watercolor Painting
In this class children will understand how water and pigment mix to create perspective and environment, and simply to understand how the concept of “to do less but get more” works. Children will learn to express themselves by letting colors and water combine to create a picture. They will also better understand the core skills of how to mix basic colors to make new ones, to use different water color brushes for different purposes, and to apply water on paper at the rights spot and right time. But most of all, the goal is to have children coming away from the class enjoying water color painting and being excited to explore more on their own.
