The full class list for Winter/Spring 2025 is live on the Arlene’s website. See my comments below on my upcoming Intro to Watercolor Class.

This in-person, 4-hour workshop is highly recommended as a prerequisite for students interested in taking additional watercolor classes with Carolyn. Designed specifically for beginners, it provides a solid foundation in both the essential supplies and fundamental techniques of watercolor painting.

🌿✨ Nature’s Treasures on Display ✨🌿

Our Nature Sketchbook Class at Arlene's Artist Materials, Inc. on Fuller Street in Albany has been an inspiring journey of art and discovery!
