LEVEL 2 Watercolor October 26 & 27, at Fir Creek Studios in Bowser BC
LEVEL 2 expects you have had ‘some’ experience with watercolour …  
this is still considered a Beginner class.  
We will further develop the three factors of Water, Paper, Paint.  We expect you will be able to manage wet into wet, wet on dry techniques. Level 1…. 
In level 2, We will focus on Edge Managment, Value controls, negative painting and hi lights and shadows.  We will work on small basic images with included patterns to strengthen our skills and as always … 
It is a skills class and … this is FUN art not FINE art.  
We will be painting in the Fir Creek studio 5085 Gainsberg Road in Deep Bay… second exit off of the 4 lanes in Bowser … first right as you cross the RR tracks
