Welcome new and returning watercolorists! Join Sophie for two sessions designed to spark a lifelong love of watercolor. You don't even need to know how to draw a stick figure - I can teach students at any experience level! We will discuss materials in depth and work on some integral painting skills focused on building confidence.
Dates: Thursdays, May 23rd & 30th
Time: 6pm-8pm *we will start on time, please be prompt.* Two hours pass quickly, please only register for this class if you know you'll be able to attend the sessions on time.
Location: Temescal Works, 490 43rd St. Oakland - located on Telegraph and 43rd St. in Temescal, near MacArthur BART. Street parking is plentiful. This is a beautiful co-working space that is comfortable and accessible. It has a secure entrance so late students will have to request special entry.
Details: The format of this class will start with a detailed description of materials and a painting demonstration by Sophie, followed by work time and individual consultations. NO MATERIALS will be provided, please bring your own supplies.
Materials: please bring your own supplies. I have everything you need stocked in my shop, Sophie Tivona Paper in the Temescal Alley on 49th St. You can purchase all materials for around $60. Here are the basics required for the class:
- paints: the more colors the better in my opinion! Bring what you have but make sure you have the following colors: red, yellow, green, blue, and black.
- paper: must be watercolor paper, preferably a block. Cold press or hot press will work. Size is up to you, I like 6"x8" or 9"x12"
- water cup
- brushes: size 4 or 6 round recommended. It's nice to have a couple of options and make sure one brush has a fine point.
- pencil with eraser
- paper towels: bring one or two per class.
