Watercolor Basics: Landscape + En Plein Air with Lindsay Picht (6 Week)- Saturdays, 10-12PM from August 29-October 3
Sundays, August 29th-October 3rd from 10-12pm
This 6-week workshop covers the foundations of watercolor! Great for both beginner painters and advanced students, this class will focus on learning different exercises and techniques, including wet-on-wet, washes, calligraphic mark making, color mixing, brush and water control, and more! We will also learn different brush types, and what to do with round, flat, or filbert brushes. Artist Lindsay Picht will help students learn how to apply these techniques and skills to landscape and plein air painting. We will paint outside for at least three classes, weather permitting. All levels welcome!

This class is held at CAL at 207 S. 9th St., Columbia, MO 65201.
