Everyone will provide their own materials:a set of watercolors, at least three brushes (a wash brush 3/4 to 1 inch, a small #1 detail brush and medium brush), watercolor paper, tape (for the edges of the paper), a small cup for water,a pencil, an eraser. There will be tables to work on but if a participant prefers a drawing board please bring one.
 
Participants should bring their own reference photo of the subject matter they wish to paint (seascapes, landscapes, pictures of their home etc.) or select a plein air view from the TEIA porch or bring their own objects to create a personal still life.
 
The instructor, Tory Millar, will have examples of watercolors and review perspective and cropping. She will then consult with each person concerning their photo prompt or chosen view and suggest a strategy for beginning their watercolor.
 
Participants will lightly sketch their subject matter then use various watercolor techniques in a layered progression to complete their watercolor scenes.
 
The instructor will circulate during the class to answer questions and work with each participant individually, suggesting techniques and problem solving as they create their artwork
