About the Session

Instructor Amy Beidleman will lead students through the steps to complete an artwork at the end of the class. Through demonstration and guided practice, the students will learn key watercolor techniques, such as, wet-on-wet, creating hard and soft edges, glazing, lifting, spattering, and many more. Learn helpful watercolor techniques to use with a variety of subject matter.

Pikas are small, charismatic mammals — often described as a cross between a hamster and a rabbit. Measuring just 6 to 8 inches long, these spirited alpine creatures are full of personality and charm and live in our mountains.

In this class, students will learn about the pika while exploring how to capture its form through contour drawing and thoughtful observation. From there, we’ll bring our drawings to life with watercolor techniques including wet-on-wet washes, layering, and using salt to create natural texture and depth.

No experience necessary, all levels welcome.
