Watercolor Painting: the Next Step

This course is for students that have taken my beginner watercolor class or have basic watercolor skills. The course will build on the basics of color mixing, composition, value and watercolor techniques. Through guided instruction and a step by step demonstration process, together we’ll paint various subjects. This will allow you to grow your skills in a fun, supportive environment.

A material list will be supplied prior to the start of class. Materials are not included in the course registration fee.


Here is what they are saying about Beth's Watercolor Painting: the Next Step:

"Learned so much! Great opportunity to ask questions, try new skills and techniques."

"What I liked best about the class was learning new skills, seeing the finished product, and it's an enjoyable time with the other ladies in the class."

"It is one of my favorite days of the week! I look forward to learning something new from Beth, seeing my classmates, and watching our paintings develop throughout the weeks. Beth has a nice, calm, patient demeanor and she is wonderful to learn from."

"Beth is simply excellent! She does a wonderful job explaining and demonstrating watercolor painting techniques and provides many examples and resources for independent practice to improve our painting skills. Beth has a structured approach along with a great sense of humor, allowing us all to be at ease as a beginner again!"

"Beth is a great instructor providing great insights into techniques required for effective watercolor." "Beth does a wonderful job introducing us to new techniques. She provides constructive critiques and respects the individuality of each student. I look forward to Beth’s classes knowing I will come away with new skills to utilize in my artwork at home." "I liked the way Beth is teaching us more advanced skills in ways that we can grasp. Beth is very supportive as we learn. The class has a wonderful atmosphere-everyone is friendly & happy . The teacher art show & student art show this year was very fun!"

Since I was young I loved to draw and paint. That love blossomed many years later when I discovered watercolors. I started taking classes at a local community center and later studies with the likes of Andrew Kusmin, Paul George etc. I find it exciting to paint with watercolor because of the difference effects that result between water and paint. I’m inspired by light, shadows and color, most of my subjects are landscapes as I’m drawn to nature.

For many years I co-chaired the Westford Regional Art Event and also co-founded the gallery at the Parish Center for the Arts. My paintings sell through shows, fairs and social media. Please follow me at Beth_smith_art on Instagram.
