In-Person Class! All Levels Welcome
Gain confidence in your brushwork and color-mixing skills in this fun and encouraging watercolor class for beginners and beyond. Taught by artist and experienced instructor Kim Caldwell, this series is designed to help new painters approach watercolor with joy, curiosity, and an adventurous spirit.
This beginner-friendly class focuses on building confidence while working with the beautiful and expressive medium of watercolor. Kim’s supportive teaching style encourages students to apply the techniques they learn while developing their own unique artistic voice. You’ll learn how to control the water-to-paint ratio to achieve deep, rich darks, luminous highlights, and subtle, harmonious grays.
Using reference photos as inspiration, Kim will guide you in deciding what details to include and what to simplify, helping you create paintings that express your personal impression of a scene rather than copying every detail. By the end of the series, you’ll feel more confident, relaxed, and excited about painting with watercolor.
