Mill Basin presents Creative Aging: Perspective & Portraiture using Watercolor

***Registration for this class is now full. You can call the Mill Basin branch at 718 241 3973 and request to be put on the waitlist. ***

In this 9 week program, participants will gain experience with perspective and portraiture in watercolor. The program will focus on concepts such as composition, color, narrative, and symbolism. Participants will learn to use dry and wet watercolor techniques, palette-based paint application, and watercolor pencils. Because lessons build on each other, we encourage participants to attend all sessions.

This is an intermediate class for those age 55 or older. Some experience with drawing or watercolor is preferred. 

Classes will be taught virtually. 

We will be offering free watercolor materials kits to the first 12 participants that request them. More information about how to request a kit will be provided after registration.

Registration will be open until February 1. Once registration is complete, we will send out an email with instructions for receiving watercolor kits and accessing the class sessions on zoom.
