In this hands-on session, we'll build confidence with beautiful, natural  wet on dry color blends for striking palm tree leaves that have that watercolor look!    No prior painting experience needed — just a willingness to get your brush wet and let go of "perfect."

You'll walk away knowing how to:

• Control water to pigment ratios  in wet on wet and wet on dry areas

• Vary colors and work to leave some white space

This session is a deep dive into depth and perspective.  We'll cover linear perspective  and how to shift edge and values across a composition to show distance.

Recommended for: students comfortable with basic washes who want to tackle a more architectural, multi-plane composition.

You'll walk away knowing how to:

• Set up simple linear perspective for doorways/architecture

• Layer foreground, midground, and background so a painting reads as deep, not flat

This session is about big, joyful color and some cool texture tricks. We'll paint a vibrant Parrotfish using loose wet-in-wet blending, use a cool trick for scales and fin lines, and create a soft coral reef. 

You'll walk away knowing how to:

• Blend colors smoothly, wet-in-wet, for a gradient

• Use a toothpick for texture lines

• Differentiate foreground and background values for contrast and emphasis

Ready to move beyond still life and landscape? This session opens you to basic figure painting — gesture, proportion, and the swirl of fabric in motion — using a Caribbean carnival dancer as our subject. We'll look at some skin tone mixing recipes and basic figure proportions.  

Recommended for: students comfortable with basic washes and brush control who are ready for a next-level challenge.

You'll walk away knowing how to:

• Rough in believable figure proportion and gesture

• Use line and shape to create movement

• Mix natural skin tones
