Preregistration is required to attend all classes and workshops at Arlene’s. Space is limited so please register soon. Click the link to register online. Otherwise, please come into the store, at 57 Fuller Rd Albany NY, or call us, at (518) 482-8881, to reserve your space.
Join Carolyn for an immersive experience designed for experienced watercolor artists who want to elevate their technique and develop a more cohesive, expressive body of work. Explore ambitious compositions, atmospheric effects, and advanced methods like negative painting and dynamic layering—all in a supportive, skill-building environment. Bring the supplies you already own; Carolyn will help you make the most of them while introducing new tools and approaches to deepen your creative process. Space is limited—reserve your spot and let your watercolor voice shine louder, bolder, and more beautifully than ever.
Please note: This workshop is part of a progressive series. If you’re new to watercolor or haven’t previously studied with Carolyn, you’ll need to start with Intro to Watercolor. If you believe you’re ready for a more advanced class, you may submit a few of your paintings for review to help determine the best placement.
A quick note about classroom etiquette: phones may absolutely be used for visual reference, but please silence calls and notifications. This is a focused, art-centered workshop, and we ask that conversations remain rooted in painting and creative exploration so that everyone can stay engaged and inspired.
Please note that our classes are typically held in the lower level of Arlene's. Because access to the lower level is available only by stair, please let us know if using the stairs presents any difficulty for you in advance of the class so we can make alternate arrangements. We want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy and participate in our classes.
