NHFS: Virtual Intro to Watercolour

Explore watercolour virtually with Paul Eppler!

Overview

Step into the peaceful world of watercolours in this relaxed, beginner-friendly Zoom class designed especially for seniors. Over three weeks, you'll explore the beauty of fluid colour, layering, and texture - all from the comfort of your own home. We'll begin by experimenting with a sampler of classic techniques (plus a few playful surprises), then apply them to a series of simple scenes. In the final week, we'll put it all together in a layered landscape full of sky, depth, and light. No pressure - just discovery, joy, and your unique touch.

There is no charge to register for this program, however we welcome and appreciate all donations.
