All levels watercolor lessons in May
Event Date
MARION — The Marion Art Center’s Watercolor with Jay Ryan Spring Session 2 starts on May 7 and runs through June 26.
The sessions are a great option for those with a little painting experience and are also a perfect “next step” for those who would like to explore watercolor painting beyond a basic understanding of color and brush strokes.
Using the brilliant nature of light and dark, the class will “push” the medium, adding other water media, brushes and paper surfaces and experiment with palette color mixing to capture magic and luminosity.
In each class, attendees will paint together using landscape, still life, the figure, abstract or imaginative thought or narrative ideas as subjects.
Each class will also provide a brief and supportive group “critique”. Students will leave with expanded knowledge of technique and traditional and contemporary use of watercolor.
Students who cannot commit to the full session can enquire about the Drop-in options for an “open paint” session.
Classes are offered on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Marion Art Center studio.
The two-hour classes are $205 for Marion Art Center members and $245 for nonmembers.
One day drop-ins are $35 per day. Classes are also offered on Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Marion Art Center Studio.
The three-hour classes are $310 for Marion Art Center members and $355 for nonmembers. One day drop-ins are $50 per day.
