What is Watermedia Fun?:
Our classes are basically watercolor classes, with different watermedia added usually for one or two sessions each month. Classes are for anyone who wants to paint and learn about watercolor, and other watermedia-acrylic, watercolor crayons, guache, different papers, textures, etc.. The classes are limited in size and each student gets individual attention. There is a demo and discussion time in the morning, followed by painting by the students. Mary has taught these classes since February, 2008, but is just now, June 09, using this meetup website to get the message out about the classes! See her art webpage at: http://www.maryemerso...
