The Visual Art Institute in Salt Lake will hold a Watercolor: Intermediate to Advanced class on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:30am for 8 weeks 8-Weeks Starting onSeptember 9:

Welcome to Watercolor Painting at the Visual Art Institute!

Unleash the power of dynamic watercolor painting through regular practice in our beginner and intermediate teen and adult classes (ages 12+). Watercolor has a reputation for being a difficult medium to master and our courses are designed to debunk that myth! Classes will follow both guided and self-directed projects during the semester. They are great for people needing motivation to paint, those seeking community, artists wanting to hone their skills, and beginners.

Students will learn traditional watercolor techniques and explore alternative materials, such as color mixing, value, as well as both wet on wet and wet on dry techniques. Throughout the term, students will be working on paintings from a variety of references including portraits, still-lifes, landscapes, seascapes, animals, figures, and urban scenes.

Students are also given the option to work independently. Those who wish to work on their own paintings are encouraged to do so!

We also offer other adult art classes (oil painting, drawing, ceramics, and more!) and kids classes (ages 5-11); for more information on our other classes, see our website at: https://www.visualartinstitute.org/salt-lake-art-classes

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:
Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
