Instructor Ana Hedberg will guide students in learning the basics of watercolor painting. 
This class provides step-by-step instruction in the fundamentals of watercolor painting. It will focus on introducing watercolor techniques and design concepts and their importance in the development of the individual’s own style. The goal is to enable a beginner to achieve confidence and mastery and to enjoy the process. The instructor will give individual guidance and support at each stage—engaging artists in a cooperative and mutually helpful environment.
Students will work on class work and homework projects that increase the range of their painting abilities. There will first be a demonstration of the technique, and then the students will have time to practice in class. Any painting problems that they may have will be addressed on an individual basis. At the end of the class, students will have an opportunity to share their homework projects with everyone. In every class, there will be a 5 min discussion on one of the design elements.
Six Fridays April 15 – May 20. Cost: $240
Ana Hedberg graduated in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design and minor in Arts from Western Michigan University (magna cum laude, Presidential Scholar). She enjoys how unpredictable watercolor can be, how forgiving and yet, very challenging it is. She also enjoys nature and wildlife, whether observing it or absorbed in it. For Hedberg, painting nature in watercolor brings both fluidity and randomness together in a rewarding and gratifying way. To view her work, visit:
