February: Stunning Skies: In this class, we will practice wet-into-wet techniques to create distinct and beautiful clouds. Create gorgeous gradients to make a subtle, realistic effect.

March: Soft Winter: These paint colors are easy to find and a fantastic entrance into color theory. Learn how to create close-to-black neutrals with two colors. In this month’s class we’ll create a wintry scene in shades of blues, greys, and browns. We’ll add some other colors to create a moody atmosphere, too.

April: Golden Hour: Found in most standard sets, these colors are powerhouses when it comes to painting the natural world. We’ll paint an atmospheric scene of a forest at golden hour, featuring yellow ochre and sap green.

May: Wildflowers: CMY color mixing lends itself to saturated, rich colors. Learn a little color theory about these primary colors, and enjoy the vivid tones they create when mixed. We’ll create a painting featuring wildflowers.

June: Seattle Skies: Render distant mountains in this month's class. We’ll create a scene reminiscent of Seattle skies on a clear day and cerulean blue will take center stage as we lift fluffy clouds and create a pretty lakeside scene.

July: Lake Day: Don’t you wish Seattle summer could last forever? Capture the memory of a beautiful day at the lake in watercolor form! We will use simple techniques to create an atmospheric view of Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier.

August: Stunning Skies: In this class, we will practice wet-into-wet techniques to create distinct and beautiful clouds. Create gorgeous gradients to make a subtle, realistic effect.
