Adult Beginner Watercolor Class: "The Beginning Watercolor classes were relaxing, and it was meaningful for me to discover I have the ability to paint a real picture worth framing and displaying in my home. For someone whose life is all straight lines and details I appreciated tapping into the other side of my brain for a change."

Thank you Reenie for a wonderful experience at your Beginner Watercolor Classes at Arts Alive. I learned the basics of watercolor - paper, paints, brushes, color mixing, techniques, tools and so much more - in a relaxing and supportive setting. I especially liked the small group size of the class and the one on one help. I enjoyed your classes so much, I’m signing up for the Open Studio where I look forward to learning more and create my own watercolor art. Sincerely, Angela Vignola
