Beginning Watercolor Painting, with artist Judy Redditt

Free, with all supplies provided!

Focus, breathe, and paint in this free watercolor class for adults of all abilities.

Judy Redditt's goals for teaching beginning watercolor students are to focus on several important concepts.

First, teach students the value of breathing and music with a focus on their thoughts and emotions positively, which will be reflected in their work.

Second, emphasize the value of painting with a brush-only technique, eliminating the drawing aspect evident in creating floral watercolors.

Three, make it clear that our emotions and thoughts are the driving force in the creative process, allowing our hand and brush to create watercolors. Artists can reduce anxiety, quiet the inner critic, and foster a more intuitive connection to their work. Self-value is important in the watercolor journey.

Finally, make students aware of other applications of breathing and music in sports, music, and the performing arts. 

Made possible by generous funding from the Windgate Foundation.
