Watercolor Classes

Please welcome Jeanette Green who has extensive teaching experience and has come highly recommended. She has
taught at the Mystic Art Center, Norwich adult ed, Norwich Free Academy Sat. am children’s classes, Colchester Adult ed,
Griswold senior center, Gales Ferry Community center, Norwich senior center, the Artware store in Groton, Ledyard senior
center and Lebanon senior center and has also taught private clients and various small groups. We will be holding 3 initial
classes of different levels and each class will be open to members. Each class costs $6.00, and you will need your own basic
supplies. A list of needed supplies can emailed to you upon request. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited so call
soon! To give everyone a chance to join one of her classes, we will ask you to sign up for just one class. You can be put on a
waitlist for the additional classes as well. We can call you about a week before the class if there is still space available.
Creating Space and using Perspective (Intermediate Level)- Monday, September 13 from 1:00-
3:00pm
There are many methods of creating the illusion of 3-D space on a 2-D surface. We will discuss and
explore them then students will plan and start a painting that shows deep space. Several photo references may be used in the same painting.
Limited Palette Painting (Beginner Level)- Monday, September 30 from 1:00- 3:00pm
Paint a composition by only using 2 – 3 tube paints. By using a very limited selection of colors, the artist is forced to concentrate more on the tonal value (lights/ darks) of the composition. This produces a
more unified, pleasing painting. I find this a valuable lesson for new painters.
*****We will be having two watercolor classes in October. October 4th & 25th from 1:00-
3:00pm. Please call mid September to find out class topics. We will be asking class participants in
August and September for their ideas and preferences. If you have an idea for a watercolor class
subject please let us know.
