Class Details
You’ll learn how to simplify complex scenes into clear, powerful shapes using just a few values. We’ll explore how to plan a painting before color ever touches the page — making your final work stronger, more balanced, and more intentional.
You’ll leave with your own small value studies of popular Katy scenes, a better understanding of watercolor layering, insight into the concept of "lost edges" and the confidence to start your next painting with clarity and purpose. No experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
Moving forward, the class is $35/session OR (a new option) a 5-class punch-card for $125.
With each class, you enjoy a 2-hour painting experience with instruction on a particular painting and/or skill. We'll also provide watercolor paper and reference printouts. Nancy has also provided refreshments. Students will bring paints, brushes, painter's tape, and a board for their painting. I'll always have supplies in hand to share if needed. As a reminder, this is the suggested supply list.
