Explore watercolor, which actually starts with drawing. Each session builds upon the previous week’s instruction. You’ll gain a good understanding of shapes, values, and color as they relate to this exciting medium. Various activities include learning the basics of the brush and palette, color mixing, and how to apply washes in monochrome and color. You’ll then move on to painting objects and still-life arrangements. Finally, we’ll have time for work with a live model. Lessons and demonstrations by the instructor will abound. Visits to the museum will provide inspiration, support demonstrations, and deepen students’ engagement with course content. All materials are included with tuition.
Registration for this class closes on June 28.
Art for Life classes are tailored for 55+ adults and strive to unleash your creativity and self-expression while building a sense of community. The two-hour classes are led by a talented HoMA teaching artist. After each class, you have the option of staying in the classroom for a one-hour open studio monitored by a teaching assistant. Each class is an opportunity for self-directed learning and social interaction and culminates in an exhibition at the Art School to celebrate your work. A complimentary parking pass is included with Art for Life classes.
