  Class Description: 

  This class is great for beginner and intermediate level artists. 

  Class runs 10:00am to 12:00 Saturday mornings

  Monthly - (3) 2 hour classes (Members) $142.50

  Monthly - (3) 2 hour classes (Non-Members) $157.50

  During the first session, Nasir will go over the material needed for this course. He will explain why the specific types of paper, paint, brushes, and other accessories are important for this medium. 

  
  

  Class Overview: 

  During the first few classes, students will learn the fundamentals of watercolor as a medium. This is mainly because watercolor is not like other mediums. For example, it does not have white paint, which in most mediums is used to create lighter tones. Nassir will teach students about things like paint consistency and wetness of paper and how they can impact the quality of the artwork. Nassir’s goal is to simplify these concepts through well designed exercises so that students will be able to get plenty of practice and eventually be able to produce beautiful and expressive paintings in watercolor. 

  What you will gain from this course: 

  Students will learn the basics of painting and drawing for a variety of subjects that fall under the watercolor umbrella. Students will also be trained on how to think like an artist and will develop an eye for composition, color mixing, and judging value ranges. After establishing a sound understanding about the watercolor medium and art fundamentals, students will be able to paint any desired subject, including floral, still life, portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes in watercolor. 

  Necessary Supplies for the Course (not provided by instructor): 

  ● Rough Professional Grade Cold Pressed Paper ○ 100% cotton 

  ○ 140lb, 300gms 

  ○ Block or pad size 9 x 12 (large sheets that can be cut down to desired size are also acceptable) 

  ○ Good brands include Arches, Baohong, Saunders Waterford, etc. 

  ● Professional Grade Paints ○ Yellow Ochre 

  ○ Cadmium yellow 

  ○ Alizarin Crimson 

  ○ Ultramarine Blue 

  ○ Burnt Sienna 

  ○ Neutral Tint 

  ○ White Gouache (Winsor & Newton) 

  ○ Good brands include Daniel Smith, Windsor & Newton, Holbein, etc. ■ I tend to use Daniel Smith most of the time 

  ● Brushes (Professional synthetics and hybrids) ○ No. 6, 8, and 12 Round watercolor brushes 

  ○ No 3. Rigger Brush 

  ○ 1 Inch Flat Brush 

  ○ Good brands include Princeton and Winsor & Newton 

  ● Palette ○ Watercolor palette of your choice 

  ○ Both large flat mixing surfaces and separated wells recommended 

  ● HB or 2B graphite pencil 

  ● Eraser (kneaded recommended) 

  ● Masking Fluid (Pebeo Drawing Gum) 

  ● Tracing paper 

  ● Carbon Transfer Paper 

  ● Painters tape 

  ● Board (to stretch if not working from a block) 

  ● Plenty of paper towels 

  ● Water bowl 

  ● Kitchen Foam 

  Important: 

  If you ask me what the most important item from the material list is, my answer will always be 100% cotton at least 140 lb, 300 gms professional grade cold pressed paper made by a credible brand. Investing in quality paper will save you a lot of time and money in the long run. Good quality paper is a must for the best experience above all else.

  In this class you will learn how to paint with soft pastels without having to purchase expensive materials and supplies.  We will cover all related topics, such as drawing, composition, color theory,  and much more as we work. This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level students. We will start with simple sketches to learn how to apply pastels and progress to more complex paintings. 

  Each student will be provided with a professional pastel paper and a limited palette of hard and soft pastels during each class. You are welcome to bring your own supplies that you are comfortable working with. We will work on some projects together, using the instructor’s references, and on individual projects of your choice based on your own interest in a subject matter. I will help you every step on the way. The objective for this class is that each student enjoys creativity and self-expression and develops his or her own style.  

  The class is offered on Thursday mornings, the cost of the class includes 2 (two) 2-hour classes. If you miss the class, please request a make-up lesson, there will be no refunds for missed classes.  To be eligible for the make-up class, you will need to notify the instructor of your absence before the class. 

  November 5th and 19th from 10:00 am till 12:00 pm.

  Cost $90 for WAL members or $110 for nonmembers.

  If you have any questions, please contact Tetyana at taniadima@hotmail.com.
