Intermediate Watercolor Class with Jane Skafte | 6 Week Class

In this 6-week class, we’ll move beyond the basics and into a more nuanced, responsive watercolor practice. Color becomes the focus—how pigments behave, interact, and shift—and how to translate what you see in the natural world into palettes that feel alive. The emphasis will be on developing sensitivity, intuition, and a deeper relationship to watercolor. We’ll work with washes, glazes, and wet-on-wet techniques, not just for control, but for possibility—learning when to guide the paint and when to let it lead. Edges will soften, layers will build, and unexpected moments will become part of the process rather than something to correct. Each class includes demonstrations, hands-on exploration, and group critique, with time to reflect on work made both in class and between classes. This class is for those ready to expand their skills and begin recognizing—and trusting—their own visual language. A beginning watercolor experience is required.
