Judy Seyfert Classes at the Missouri Botanical Garden

Saint Louis Watercolor Society member, Judy Seyfert, will be teaching three different classes at the Missouri Botanical Garden this fall.  Judy's classes are always fun, dynamic and inspirational.    Artists can register online by going to the Garden website: https://www.mobot.org/ or by calling the Garden at 577 9506.

Capturing the Landscape in Watercolor

Take a creative journey to learn to paint vibrant, expressive landscape paintings.  Under the inspiration of fall and the Garden, students will utilize color, shape, and line to capture the spirit of the landscape.   Seldom does an artist find a "picture perfect" photograph or place.   Students will learn to simplify, edit and rearrange using the elements of design to create effective compositions.  This class is for artists with some watercolor experience.  No basic skills will be taught; studio class. Designed for adults only.
Eight Fridays starting September 9th from 9:30 a.m. to noon.  No class October 14th.


The Magic of Watercolor
   
Paint, have fun, and learn more about watercolor than you thought possible.  Through demonstrations and exercises in composition, the expressive use of color, and pigment applications, students will learn the art of well planned yet seemingly "spontaneous" watercolors.  Learn to take your inspiration and make it into original painting.  The goal is to not just to record your inspiration but to paint it in an enthusiastic and creative way.  Beginning to intermediate level; Studio class. Designed for adults only.
Six Mondays starting September 12th from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.

 Watercolor Bold and Beautiful

Using the dynamic, luminous character of watercolor students will learn to utilize bold color, shape and line to make their own unique paintings.  A variety of subjects will be covered including still lifes, landscapes, and abstracts.  Judy teaches the process of watercolor in a simple and straightforward manner.  Students are given group and individual instruction encouraging creativity while enhancing painting and compositional skills.  Beginning to intermediate levels;studio class. Designed for adults only.
Six Saturdays starting October 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
