Learn which papers, materials, and brushes work best for you as we go over the basics of traditional and contemporary watercolor ideas and techniques.

We will then apply this knowledge to small set ups so that we can gain some practical application. I will spend some time going over basic drawing ideas, color theory, color mixing, and brush care. A willingness to draw, and/or improve upon drawing skills will enhance your experience in this class. Absolute beginners in both drawing and watercolor need to recognize that they are attempting two new skills: drawing and watercolor.

American Tango: The Tango came to America in the last century and has been featured in many memorable movies. The dance is smooth, slow and slinky with open positions, fans, and dips. It progresses around the dance floor and uses catlike walks and staccato foot movements. West Coast Swing: This dance consists of six and eight count patterns, which are done in a slot. This dance is usually done to medium tempo swing music, frequently slower than East Coast swing. However, those who achieve a high skill level in this dance can and do dance it to faster tempo music.
