Join our Weekly Watercolor Studies every Wednesday, where a group of passionate intermediate artists comes together to explore the endless possibilities of watercolor. Guided by Laurie Spera, this session dives deeper into advanced techniques such as wet-on-wet blending, color layering, and mastering light and shadow to create stunning compositions. Each week, we focus on a different subject, from serene landscapes to expressive florals, encouraging experimentation and personal expression. It's a supportive and inspiring environment for those looking to refine their skills, share ideas, and push their creative boundaries with watercolor.

The first few sessions will be held in the classroom, where you'll learn foundational techniques in charcoal, pastel, watercolor, and ink, focusing on aspects like light, shadow, perspective, and color theory. From Week 4 onward, weather allowing, we will venture outdoors to sketch a variety of inspiring local scenes, from urban landscapes to natural settings, honing your ability to capture the world around you.
