Watercolor Painting Studio
This course will help students execute paintings of their own subject matter. Guidance and critique from the teacher will focus on composition, color mixing, value and technique. Students will use photos to develop their own painting style. This course will allow students to grow their skills in a fun, supportive environment. Some watercolor experience is necessary.
Here's what they are saying about Beth's Watercolor Painting Studio:
"Beth encourages risk taking and gives constructive feedback. Love the class!"
"Beth, our teacher was warm and very supportive. the class had great chemistry and I look forward to many more in the future."
"Beth is a very helpful, talented teacher whose expertise and patience really helps each student."
"Nice group of people with many supportive suggestions. Beth is great - she has a keen eye and gives great critiques to whole group in addition to specific advice when she walks around and meets with us individually."
"I've been taking this class many times now, and each class, I still learn something new, thanks to Beth. She patiently consults with each of us several times during class, and provides valuable feedback and advice based on our individual styles which she distinctly recognizes. The excellent progress each of us has made in the group is clear evidence of this. Finally, the structure of the class promotes a supportive and warm group environment."
Beth Smith
Watercolor Instructor
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.
