Experience Details
What It Is
Watercolor is a painting method built around water control, layering transparent color, and letting soft gradients do the work. It is relaxing because you can build depth slowly and still end with a polished result.
In this watercolor painting class in NYC Midtown, you will paint on high quality printed artwork paper with a colored guide. Instead of starting from a blank page, you get a beautiful structure to paint within, then learn techniques for smooth washes, clean edges, and optional metallic accents that elevate the final piece.
