  • Watercolor Workshop (Evening)

    Anonymous review on 7/27/2018
    The instructor had an amazing studio and was very kind and welcoming! The class wasn't as traditional as I had liked, I expected a bit more on color mixing and more about how the technique of watercolor is really supposed to be used. Nonetheless, I had a great time! She really allows her students to be independent and have fun with it. I think it's a great class for beginners because you just get to give it a go without any real pressure, but I'll admit I did feel a bit intimidated by her intermediate students who had paintings already half finished. The instructor is a very cool person and has a lovely studio, it was very inspiring. The materials provided were also top notch! I left with a great piece and a good feeling overall.

    I enjoyed the class. I wish I had more time to truly grasp the concept of Watercolor. I thought the instructor would do a demonstration first so we’d know more or less where to start. Glad I took the course though.

    Anonymous review on 7/24/2018
    The teacher was kind and welcoming and the space, materials, and lighting were excellent. She provided snacks in the middle of the 6-9 PM time slot--which makes sense--because it is during dinner time. I was disappointed with the experience, though, because I didn't feel that the teacher really was able to help me LEARN. She briefly showed me techniques--but the task--to copy a picture--while she made squares and then divided up the photo into quadrants and told me to "draw it" in pencil and then I would use watercolor to complete it--felt beyond what I had been assigned to play with it ben was able to accomplish. Looking back, I wish I had been given a scrap piece of canvas and been told to play. Instead of the evening being relaxing (the teacher told me to "just have fun with it"), I felt disappointed that my work was more a reflection of the teacher's effort than my own.

    Kareen has an amazing space for the watercolor class....an exceptionally large, extremely well lit room....each personal space for the student is wonderfully set up with a large palette, numerous brushes, water, tissues, paper.....all the finest...ARCHES and WINSOR NEWTON. Also, there are folders of so many pictures, all gridded so ready for the person to draw on paper. Kareen is constantly walking around to be available to answer questions, demonstrate a technique, offer suggestions... Definitely one of the most enjoyable three hours of watercolor. Do attend!

    A really great place to learn more about watercolor. Karen is helpful, but gives the students lots of independence. It is not a typical class, no step by step guides but it helps you be able to take the skills you learned and use them when you come home. Definitely should try!

Does the teacher tell us what to paint or can I ring my own picture of what I want to paint?
Answer from Ellen A. Verified Student
You can definitely bring your own picture. It's better to have it printed out than just on your phone, but you can paint from your phone if you can manage that.
