Watercolor Classes

Watercolor is an art of “letting go.” It is famous for its transparency, its light, and the way the water moves the pigment across the paper. At Virtuoso School, our watercolor lessons teach you how to master this unpredictable but beautiful medium. It is an art form that requires both control and a bit of luck.

In our Charlotte studio, you will learn techniques like “wash,” “wet-on-wet,” and “dry brush.” We focus on how to preserve the white of the paper to create brilliant highlights. Watercolor is perfect for capturing the atmospheric quality of a landscape or the delicate petals of a flower. Our instructors will show you how to embrace the “happy accidents” that make watercolor so unique. Experience the calm, meditative process of working with water and light.
