Nahant, MA Watercolor Painting Lessons

Lessons would be individualized to focus on areas that need the most guidance.

Watercolor Painting: Age-Appropriate areas of instruction include:
-Watercolor Specific Painting Techniques.
-Understanding Composition.
-Understanding Color Theory: Opposites or “complementary colors” on the color wheel; Painting with medium tones, so that highlights and shadows can be applied easily. Using multiple colors equals “depth” and “interest.”
-How to Mix Paint.

I've been teaching for years and my students have gone on to develop a deep love for the visual arts. Within the first few lessons, you'll understand colors and shapes and as time goes on, you'll be able to to identify your style and create your own artworks as a professional artist. See you soon!

I provide classical instruction in portraiture, still life and landscape in your studio or mine. In this traditional approach to drawing and painting, what will be taught and focused upon are perspective, value and composition in order for the student to develop strong visual language skills. The program of study begins with a specific focus on drawing, since drawing is the foundation upon which all great traditional art is built. Throughout this training, emphasis will be placed on accuracy, or more specifically, seeing and rendering correctly such things as line quality, hard and soft edges, proportion, positive and negative space through abstract form and the use of the full range of values.

There's so many techniques to explore with watercolor & I can help you explore them.

I love helping people discover that creativity is their birthright! I tailor my lessons to your individual needs. My experience is with creating abstract and mixed media
paintings on paper wood or canvas. I teach both acrylic and watercolor. I can't wait to see what you create!

I will take student to plen air, meaning outdoor painting session.

Hello,
My name is Margarita and I'm a Russian watercolor artist and illustrator living in the US.

Many people believe that is hard to learn how to paint with watercolors but I think with a right approach and philosophy watercolors aren't that difficult. Watercolors are a bit unpredictable but that's what makes it such a unique medium to work with.

I can teach you from the basics (composition, colors, perspective, values and how to apply this knowledge in your paintings) to a more advanced painting (watercolor tricks, techniques, plein air painting etc). I can teach any artistic style, whether it be portraiture, wildlife, landscapes or cityscapes.
