All watercolor classes are held in-studio and also online, taught simultaneously. No matter where you are located, you can be a part of an actual live watercolor class, just as if you were in-studio. Personal attention, critiques, advice, and guidance while you paint, not after the fact. **Love this Technology** It's really just like being in the room together!
