Monet Makes it Easy
Watercolour Painting Course
The goal of this course is to experience the joy of watercolour. This course is broken up into 4 sessions. You can take the whole course or just a particular session, excepting sessions 4.
What a great way to start! Learn from the impressionist Claude Monet. Although it was done in oils it lends itself well to a watercolour.
Each class is for 3 hours. You need your own supplies, A supply list, photo support and transfer paper for the in studio will be provided.
Location and dates for in studio and for online classes are still to be determined. Please contact me if you are interested in a workshop with your organization.
Classes are subject to attendance. Minimum is 5. Some organizations have their own minimum and maximum class sizes. Mine are a minimum of 5.
Cost: $260.00 for 4 sessions or $65.00. (Session 4 needs a prerequisite of Session 3 at least and you will have already drawn out your subject.)
Some art groups set their own pricing so this is just from me.
