Interested in watercolor but don’t know how to begin? In this hands-on class, painter and educator Chappy Valente will walk you through the tools and techniques of watercolor painting. From choosing paper (hot press v. cold press) and brushes (round, flat, filbert, fan) to learning techniques (wash, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry), you will leave this 3-hour class with a solid understanding of watercolor and the confidence to get started.

Bring your own supplies or purchase them at Wonder Docent. Here’s what you will need:

  • High quality cold press watercolor paper (ex: Arches 300 lb.)

  • High-quality tubed watercolor paint in primary colors (ex: Daniel Smith, Holbein, or Winsor & Newton)

  • Two round brushes, one large (size 12) and one small (size 2 or 4)

  • Small spray bottle

  • Small natural sponge
