Class Content:
Have fun painting colorful koi fish using basic watercolor techniques along with several creative ways to add texture. Different color schemes can be explored to complete one or two finished paintings. Demos along with individual help will encourage everyone in their own artistic expression.

Supply List: Watercolor paints, brushes, water container, paper towels and pencil. Two 11×15 inch or larger sheets of 140 lb cold press watercolor paper. I strongly recommend Arches watercolor paper for best results with wet on wet and blending techniques. I will have Arches 140 # watercolor paper available for purchase at the class for $3 / 11 x 15 piece. More information on all the watercolor painting supplies that I like and recommend at
