Course Instructor - Julie Sibley

Inspired by the scenery and colors of the mountains around us, we will enjoy the beauty and drama of nature.  With basic watercolor techniques we'll explore various types of mountain locales.  It is a way to  learn how layers of color interact to create specific atmospheric effects in all seasons.  Bring all your watercolor supplies and be ready to create from Day One.  This course includes color handouts to facilitate at home study and practice.  

Supply List: Bring your favorite watercolor papers, brushes, watercolors, #2 pencil, pallet, brush rinsing container, masking fluid and spray bottle to join the fun.  Optional sketchbook or notebook for notes is recommended. If you are new to this, just bring whatever supplies you already possess and during the first class we will talk about the merits of various paints & brushes.  THEN you can decide what else you might want to purchase.

A materials fee of $15 payable to the instructor for color copies will be collected the first day of class.
