About the Class:  This is a five week course where students can explore a wide range of techniques.  Advanced artists are encouraged to bring works in progress to complete.  Although starting with the basics seems elementary, it is good to review and practice these techniques such as the basics of brush strokes, washes, dry brushing, hard and soft edges through motor control paper exercises and learning water to pigment ratios.  Karen will demonstrate for you the techniques she has learned from Master watercolorists like Zoltan Szabo, Tom Lynich and Barbara Nechis.  See her work at her studio in the Art Place Studio, 2015 Asheville Highway.
