A new landscape photograph is emailed weekly to each registered student. During class time, the teacher provides step-by-step instructions as she paints, and students paint the landscape along with her. Most students will have a finished painting at the end of each 2-hour virtual session. In addition, students may email a copy of their finished work to the instructor for encouraging suggestions to improve their watercolor painting. BONUS: A class video will be made available on YouTube. Livestream link will be provided after registration.

• Watercolor palette – large plastic palette, with large enough wells to mix pools of paint; a cover is nice
