Patty Kane continues her ‘loose and juicy’ watercolor classes and will introduce you to the beauty of layering transparent watercolor and the value of using a limited palette through demonstrations and critiques. Students will explore many traditional watercolor techniques and exercises designed to gain skills and confidence needed to tap into your creative side.
Watercolor classes with Patty Kane will resume at Fort Myers Beach Art Association on Monday, October 27, 2008.  Both Beginning and Intermediate classes will be offered.

In this seven week class, students will explore traditional watercolor techniques with an emphasis on color and composition. Students will work from still life and/or their own reference material (photos) to gain stills and confidence needed to tap into their creative side.

Fee is $105.00 for seven lessons, payable in advance 
No class Monday, November 17, 2008, due to Spataro workshop.
