SOLD OUT Have fun and get inspired as you relax and enjoy the process of painting. Designed for those who have little to no experience in watercolor, this class focuses on getting comfortable with watercolor painting fundamentals like color mixing, brush technique, composition, and drawing skills. Taught by professional watercolorist Constance Manley, a signature member of the South Carolina Watermedia Society. Ages 15 and up. Please bring reference photos to work from; all other materials and equipment provided.

Get a glimpse into the story behind the art: the science to create the materials, the lives that shaped the artists' views, the thinking that leads a museum to acquire a piece, and the care that's required to keep a work of art in excellent condition for thousands of years.

Saws and drills are used in this class; experience helpful but not required. All materials and equipment provided, including supplies for painting and decoupage, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own magazines or books for decoupaging. Ages 15 and up.
