Watercolor Classes In Berthoud, Colorado

Have you always admired the delicate nature of watercolors and wanted to try painting with this medium?  Have you been told that watercolors are the most difficult to control?  I have been a watercolor artist for over 40 years.  For many of those years, I have also taught watercolor art classes.  Once you know a few tricks, watercolors are the most enticing type of paint; you will never tire of watching the colors flow onto the paper.  If you struggle to figure out how to work with this translucent medium, our Watercolor Workshops will help you. 

The delicate nature of watercolors lends itself perfectly to painting flowers; this is why I have chosen to teach our Floral Watercolor Workshops.  

Spend a day surrounded by flowers at the farm and join our Watercolor Workshops.  Our farm is in Berthoud, Colorado (just north of Longmont).

Our workshops include the following:  

• You will learn invaluable watercolor tips and techniques while painting flowers from our gardens at Antonella Farm.  A limited number of seats will allow for plenty of individual guidance.

• We will provide you with all of the supplies you need to complete the workshop.

• We will tour the flower gardens (when in season) and see what is happening in the flower studio.  You are welcome to take photos for future painting references.

• In the morning, enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks.  At noon, we will take a lunch break, at which time you are welcome to join us for a complimentary refreshing four-course lunch.  The organic vegetable farm down the street will provide many ingredients on the menu.  It doesn't get more local than that!  If you prefer to go off on your own for a lunch break, you are also welcome to do that.

• At the end of the workshop, you will have your floral painting to take home and a bouquet of freshly harvested flowers from our farm.

Your workshop will be held from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.  At times, we may run to 5:00 pm.

We have workshops for all skill levels.

You do not need to know how to draw to take this class!  The sketch of

your painting is done for you.  This class focuses on how to paint flowers.

The fee for each workshop is $275.  You are welcome to sign up for more than one workshop.

This workshop is nonrefundable but transferable if you cannot attend. We will refund your money (less credit card fees) if someone from the waitlist can fill your place at the workshop.
