Please note: You must complete the Intro class before booking the Continuing Watercolour class. If you took the Intro class in Fall 2024, you can register directly for the Continuing class. The Intro class covers the foundational basics, which are always beneficial to revisit. Feel free to join both the Intro and Continuing sessions—experienced artists will still gain valuable insights and refine their techniques.
