CLASS PAINTINGS

Yes – you CAN paint!

You will begin with small pictures that will help you learn the basic skills of watercolor – how to handle the brushes and paint, how much water to use, how to lay a wash, how to blend wet-in-wet and direct painting. 

The following are a few of the paintings you will do in your first classes, following along with me and using the picture tracing I will provide.

Before you know it, with some guidance, you will be painting from your own photos!

TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS

Deb Ward has done a wonderful job of teaching me how to watercolor.  I hadn’t done anything in art since high school many years ago.  Because of her tutelage I have learned many different ways to paint.  We have used different papers, wet on wet, dry on wet, pouring and many more techniques.  She is a great teacher and has become a valued friend.  I have entered a few art competitions and have received 2 awards.  I attribute this to Deb and her way of making art fun and interesting.    Teri Glaser

"Deb Ward – is a skilled teacher who I had pleasure to learn basics of watercolors from. She started from color theory, which greatly helped me to understand color relationship, and worked into more advanced and fun to use techniques such as pouring, scrubbing and others. Her kind and caring personality makes learning the art of watercolors even more interesting and enjoyable!"

I took Deb's watercolor class at her home over the course of a few months.  I, too, don't draw, but she assured me that I could paint.  After some hesitation, I signed up.  There are many pluses about the class, some of which are:  you don't have to draw to paint(!), I painted actual pictures, that I was impressed with - I couldn't believe that I actually did them!  It couldn't have happened without Deb's knowledge, instruction, patience, and her building my confidence so I felt equipped to do it .  She is a pleasure to learn from, and I highly recommend her watercolor classes.
