Stefan Gevers

Water Colour classes with Stefan Gevers

One of the lessons we learn through art is that spontaneity is often well planned. Stefan Gevers will guide students in creating the elusive watercolor image that is both, solid and spontaneous, gestural, yet rich with the evocation of detail and specificity.

You will learn how to draw and plan to create a watercolor and with one-on-one classroom assistance you will learn how to use the watercolor palette - which brushes, how much water and what washes to start with. Stefan Gevers step-by-step approach creates a relaxed environment with no pressure and surprising results.

More advanced students will work on their own subjects of choice and be assisted to develop their own style and skills.
