About the Instructor:
Susan Snodgrass is a local artist and owner of "Susan's Studio" on Main Street in Ouray. Since her first one-person show in 1988, Susan has been striving to interpret her ideas through a multitude of mediums including watercolor, pastel, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, and oil. She has endeavored to express herself through a wide range of subject matter from still life studies, to landscapes, to complicated narrative paintings. After spending her youth in the Pacific Northwest, Susan moved east, living in Michigan, Massachusetts and Baltimore, before returning to the west and settling in Colorado in 1997.
In addition to exhibiting her vibrant and diverse art throughout the country, Susan has taught art, is the president of W.I.S.E., a past president of WCA, and is a local Weehawken Dancer.

The "go" date is the date at which WCA determines whether there are enough students or not to run the class. If this is a class you are interested in, please be sure to enroll before the "Go" date (and encourage your friends to do so as well) so that we can be sure to run the class! We will notify you at the end of the business day on the "GO" date if the class is to be cancelled so that you can make other plans for that date, but ideally, we'll see you at the class!
Class Description:
This four week course will teach students basic color, composition, and how to use water colors properly while also creating beautiful gift cards that can be given to a loved one. Each student will take home 8 beautiful gift cards created by them.
Week 1: Students will be given a demonstration on how to use their water colors properly. Students will also have the chance to experiment with color and composition. Students will learn beautiful painting techniques and have a chance to try them out.
Students should also bring in a "still life" item to be used in class the following week. This item could be anything - - for example a teddy bear, fabric, picture, jewelry, vase, etc.
Week 2: Students will learn to draw a "still life" picture using a black pen. This will also serve as the basic drawing for the gift card.
