Watercolour Animals — Winter Session
Dates: January 12th – March 2nd from 7pm-9pm (no class February 16th for Family Day weekend)

Explore the beauty of animals through watercolour in this inspiring 7-week course. From the shimmering reflections of whales underwater to the soft texture of fur, students will learn a variety of techniques to bring their animal subjects to life. We’ll focus on building layers, creating depth, and finding balance between realistic and loose, expressive styles. Perfect for animal lovers and watercolour enthusiasts looking to refine their skills and explore new approaches.* We unfortunately cannot offer make up classes for a missed class

You will provide your own supplies. This allows you to practice and work on your projects at home with the right tools and materials.

Tools

• 2 jars for water

• Pencil: 2H or HB

• #1 round Nylon brush ( a smaller brush for detail)

• #8 round Nylon brush (some companies vary in their sizes so don’t need to be super specific with these numbers)

• #10 round Nylon

• 1 inch flat Nylon brush

• NOTE: you can buy a value pack just make sure it’s a watercolour set. Micheals has a great one for $17

• Inexpensive #4 ( a small one) for applying masking fluid

  • You are welcome to have more brushes to experiment with

• Masking fluid (also called Frisket, drawing gum.. )

• Cold press 140-LB watercolour paper (arches or strathmore are strong suggestions. I would stay away from Artist Loft level 2 paper from Micheal’s, level 3 artist loft should be fine )

• Water colour pencils ( a small pack you don’t need all the colours, a pack of 8 or so is good.)

• Masking tape

• Paint palette big enough for every colour to have a spot and space to mix paint.(a plastic one that can close or has a lid. I suggest a bigger one from Amazon, I can no longer find them in the local art stores)

• Paper towel

• Waterproof ultra fine tip sharpie

• sponge (sea sponge pack from the dollar store works, or any sponge without the abrasive material)

• MDF board or flat board to tape your paper to. (Any hard surface, a canvas board is a perfect option as well)
