Come join Kelly Rye at St. Annes Chapel for a magical journey with watercolor! “Magical” is definitely the right word for watercolor. It almost seems like magic how the paint spreads across the page and takes on a life of its own. Which is the perfect medium for this “learn through play” art series.

These workshops are perfect for any beginner and intermediate individual, or for anyone who just wants to brush up on their skills and start back at the basics. Learning the tips and tricks of the trade, while also learning to find your own creative style and flow.

This progressive series will take us on a fun and playful journey through the basics (watercolor 101), and eventually working towards more advanced techniques to enhance any painting. This course will teach you how to master basic techniques that will give you control over the painting process, while allowing room for growth.

Topics Covered: color palettes, brush control, blending colors on paper, effects/techniques, wet vs dry paper, ombré gradient washes, how to fix mistakes, and tons more!
Who is this course for?:
● Anyone who wants to learn to paint with watercolors
● Anyone who has the gear, but doesnt know where to start
● Anyone who has tried before but got lost in the process
● Anyone who might feel intimidated by creating art
● Anyone who feels not “good enough”
● Anyone who wishes to explore their creative side
● Anyone who wishes to reduce stress levels and anxiety
Being in the art world for 25+yrs, Kelly knows how challenging it can be to get out of our comfort
zones and express yourself freely. Understanding how some can feel anxious, overwhelmed, and not “good enough”. In Kellys’ classes she strives to help overcome those fears and
anxieties, in a friendly, relaxed, playful, judgment free, and creative environment.
Why? Because as adults we collect limiting beliefs about what we can and can't do. Painting might be one of them? So join us and overcome your fears in this playful and light hearted series!
Together we will learn and explore the beauty that is watercolor. Each lesson giving you the experience and confidence to help you get out of your comfort zone, in a fun and light hearted class setting. Ultimately giving you the courage to become the artist you have always wanted to
be (and more)!

● Watercolor paint set- If you have one, bring it! If you need one, feel free to scan the QR code. A few recommended palettes will also be sent to you upon registration. However,
any quality set will do (ranging $10-$40+)
● Quality watercolor paper for lessons will be provided. However, it is recommended to bring your own paper/notepad for additional projects and designs.
