Watercolor Classes
“Natalie’s classes are so informative and they’re a ton of fun. I’ve been several times, and I’m looking forward to more. She is a very talented artist and teacher - you’ll leave with a love for watercolor.”
Watercolor Florida
Friday, July 31st
10am-12:30pm
at Leu Gardens in Orlando
Capture the feeling of summer in the shape of our gorgeous coastal state! I’ll guide you step by step in creating a beautiful watercolor painting of Florida. Learn new techniques like salt painting to develop texture and organic shapes. Whether you’re new to watercolor or looking to advance your skills, you’ll go home with a frame-worthy painting, feeling encouraged and equipped to dive deeper into the world of watercolor!
Expressive Watercolor
Tuesday, August 18th
10am-12:30pm
at Leu Gardens in Orlando
Expressive watercolor combines blind contour drawing with color impressionism. The result is a beautiful, loose, and lively semi-abstract artwork, and just as important- stress reduction for the artist: YOU! Expressive watercolor is perfect for beginners, and advanced students will learn to hone their eye for line, color, and value. Even if you have taken this class before, you will exercise new skills and leave with a completely different painting!
“Natalie Brooks is a wonderful teacher! I have taken other watercolor classes, but I learned more in one class with Natalie than I did in an entire series of classes with another teacher. Natalie has a gift for putting students at ease and for inspiring them to take risks and grow. She is patient, supportive, and encouraging. If you are hesitant about trying something new, but really want to learn how to paint, Natalie is the teacher for you. She is a warm, friendly person who shares her expertise with grace and humor. I can’t wait for my next class with her.”
Watercolor Foundations I
Thursdays 10am-12pm
July 30th - September 3rd
at Art & History Museum of Maitland
Dive deep into the art of watercolor! Students will develop and strengthen essential skills needed to master this versatile medium. Grow in confidence each week as we build from composition, value, and color to brushwork, texture, and layering. At every class we’ll put our skills into practice as we paint several studies. Then everything will come together in a final course project. This class is perfect for beginner to intermediate students who want to grow in both love for and proficiency with watercolor!
Watercolor Foundations II
Mondays 6:30-8:30pm
July 27th - August 31st
at Art & History Museum of Maitland
Ready to take your watercolor skills to the next level? Explore advanced techniques and strengthen your skills in Watercolor Foundations II. We’ll refine our eye for dynamic compositions, expand our color palettes, and enhance our skills as we paint from nature-inspired photos and still-lifes. This class is perfect for students who have taken Watercolor Foundations (or a similar equivalent).
“Natalie’s workshops were fun, informative, and empowering for a novice like me, and I came away with two pieces of art that I am proud to display in my home. Perfect for a ladies night or a date, and I look forward to the next one!”
