Intro to Watercolors - February 2026

In this four-week course, Wednesdays, February 4, 11, 18, & 25, 6-8 pm, you will build your watercolor basics and shape a painting practice for yourself. Pursue your own themes and subjects under the guidance of a watercolor teacher. You will learn about composition, value and color theory and how to apply these skills to your own paintings. Class is open to beginners who want to build foundational skills, or who have taken either of Factory 3's other watercolor classes and would like a refresher.
