Barbara Borgwardt

Watercolor Wisdom

With plenty of demonstrations, the various watercolor techniques will be fine tuned and the basic elements of design emphasized through critiques.

Because of the small class size, Barbara teaches individually, with students learning from each other. She teaches beginner level to advanced level with the purpose of having each student “stretch” their talents and enjoy the process.

Photos may be brought in as reference or Barbara has a selection to work from. Unfinished work that needs help is always welcome.

Beginners get Barbara’s “happy packet” which includes a photo and a line drawing of photo to transfer. Barbara’s greatest quality is her patience and passion of the process of watercolor art.
