Beginner Watercolor Class

Join us at The Community House for a lesson by Paulette Boudreau in the beautiful art of watercolor painting! Painting with Paulette is fast-moving, encouraging, and definitely fun! You'll start by getting friendly with watercolor -- making swatches, playing with brushstrokes, and mixing color. Then you dive in. Your paper comes pre-drawn with your seahorse, and the palette is curated so you can focus on process, not guesswork. Paulette will show you how to work with the water, not against it, encouraging you to loosen up and trust the magic. This class is perfect for beginners or for anybody who needs permission to play. All supplies are included. You will be using professional grade watercolor paints, brushes, and paper. As an additional benefit to students, feel free to bring in your own supplies and Paulette can review them for you, before or after class.
