ADULT WATERCOLOR CLASSES
The Hendersonville Arts Council will offer beginning/intermediate Watercolor Classes for adults starting January 20. Classes meet on Wednesdays for eight weeks from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The instructor for the classes is Sandi Hester.
These classes are for the beginner/intermediate student, those who are just beginning and/or those who feel they are getting a feel for the media but want to expand their skills. The instructor will teach the basic skills of watercolor painting including: sharing information on materials to use, how to mix colors that are bright and not muddy, different ways of applying paint, different types of brush work, how to paint flowers, trees, skies, landscapes, etc. Hester says, “Watercolor is a great medium to work in. It is cheaper than most mediums. It is quick, easy to clean-up, exciting, versatile, very portable and a medium that almost anyone can be successful in.”
Hester has been painting and drawing since she was a little girl. Her grandmother was an artist and taught her how to paint at an early age. She was involved in art classes in high school and college and has trained under world renowned watercolor artist, Charles Reid. She is a graduate of Auburn University. Hester and her husband travel around the world and she records their trips through her work. Her work may be seen on her website www.paintingtheword.com.
