If you’ve ever wanted to try watercolor but weren’t sure where to begin, this four-week class is made for you. We’ll keep things simple, hands-on, and enjoyable, no pressure or perfection, just learning by doing.
You’ll explore basic techniques, color mixing, textures, and how to build a small painting from the ground up. I’ll bring the materials; you just bring yourself and a willingness to play a bit.
It’s beginner-friendly, in person, and held at the historic Philadelphia Sketch Club (easily accessible by SEPTA and PATCO).
