Description:

Develop or refine your skill in painting with watercolor and acrylics  with Dr. Rahul Ray. The 8-week class will begin on Tuesday, July 7th until August 25th, every Tuesday from 5:45 to 7:15 at The Arts Wayland Gallery. The classes will be held in a studio setting and focus on fundamental skills, such as observation, perspective, scale, and technique (e.g. sketching). Various subjects, including still-life, landscape, and portrait will be included in the exercises. Acrylics will provide a versatile medium for painting with bright colors. On the other hand, success with watercolor, considered a difficult medium, will be all but guaranteed.

This is what a past student had to say –“ I took an 8-week watercolor class with Ray Rahul in the spring of 2023.  We painted a different still life arrangement each week.  My goals (as a beginner) for the class were simple.  I wanted to learn basic watercolor techniques and practice what I was learning with the guidance of a teacher.  I also wanted to learn how to really see the subjects and to try to develop my own style.  My goals were met and expectations exceeded.  Ray taught us many basic techniques and helped us learn how to see objects in terms of perspective, relative placement, shapes, shadows, values, etc.  I learned so much in his class and very much enjoyed the process.”
