Drawing Skills & Mixing Color with Pieter Lefferts 

Enhance your understanding of color mixing and/or hone your drawing skills with artist and art educator Pieter Lefferts in this four-session series.

Registration is required and is for the whole series. 

Two series are offered this spring: 

  • Series 1: Four Tuesdays, March 3, 10, 17, and 24, 2:00 - 4:00 PM (Registration opens February 3rd at 5 PM.)
     
  • Series 2: Four Tuesdays, March 31, April 7, 14, and 21, 2:00 - 4:00 PM (Registration opens March 3rd at 5 PM.)

Please note, if you end up on a waitlist for Series 1, you will have priority registration for Series 2, so please don’t hesitate to register for the waitlist.

This workshop provides instruction for all levels, from beginner to expert.

We will focus on recipes for mixing color with watercolors. Participants are asked to bring subject matter, including photos or still life objects, or you may choose to work from your imagination.

We’ll also work on honing drawing skills, so you may choose to focus on that, on color mixing, or on a combination of both.

Pencils, paper, and watercolor materials will be provided. You are also welcome to bring your own drawing materials, watercolors, or gouache.
