Linda Abbey teaches students drawing and watercolor painting using a big brush. Learn the skill of Betty Edward's Drawing on The Right Side of The Brain and how to put watercolor on paper. Students will have every step broken down, so all levels of artist are welcome! The final class will be a small reception of the students' work. Prime Members free, Standard Members $100, Guests $125. Materials are needed for this class and the list is below.
Students will learn: to see is to understand what they are looking at, why it is important, and how to put it on paper. From this step by step class, students cannot help but to succeed.

PAPER
Arches 140 lb cold pressed is best. You will need 8 sheets sized 15”x11”.
I buy full sheets and tear them in quarters 15”x11”, to be taped on Masonite boards that I provide.
I got a deal of 25 sheets of Arches 140 lb watercolor paper for $146.00!
And I am happy to sell two sheets to each student for $12.00. By tearing these full sheets into quarter sheets, there’s enough for all 8 classes.
