Piedmont Adult School offers watercolor and water-based media class

Piedmont Adult School has added a new spring session of the popular class, “Exploring Water-Based Media in Abstract Landscapes.”  The class will be held on Saturdays, March 8 – April 19, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. in an art room at Piedmont High School.

Class Description:

There’s more to water-based painting than just watercolors. Possibilities include watercolor pencils, water soluble crayons and pastels, ink, and more. In this class we will explore how to convey our thoughts and emotions as abstract landscapes. We will do several quick studies and then use our favorite ideas and techniques to create a large work. This is a process-based class that prioritizes experimentation as a way to let go of perfectionism. Only happy accidents here.

All experience levels welcome.  No class 4/12.  Materials fee of $20 included in class price of $225.

Instructor Katie Smart is a working artist with 15 years of experience teaching and showing art. She graduated from Mount Holyoke in 2008 and received her MFA from the California College of Art in 2020. She is currently a member of Gallery 2727 artist co-op. She loves colorful abstraction, and values process over perfection.
