Join us in the studio with Gary on Saturday, March 17 for another great watercolor class.
Gary Griswold is a former illustrator, a life-long watercolor painter and a simply great teacher. And he’s thought out all the steps to help beginners complete a painting in just four hours. Your palette is limited to just six colors, which Gary will teach you to mix, and a couple of inexpensive big brushes, and Arches paper,so no big investment in materials! And clean-up is easy! We will fetch materials for you or you can buy them yourself locally at Akamai from the list we provide (you get a 10% discount when you take a class with us).
Gary also has instructional sets of flash cards you can take home to practice with ($10), a DVD ($12) and book with 30 paintings you can practice with ($35). Class size is limited so you can get good one-on-one time with Gary. Saturday, March 17, 10 am-1 pm, $65, at the Studio in Port Townsend, Washington.
You must Register and prepay. To register, leave a comment below with your e-mail and we’ll get back to you. All comments are private.

Hi, I’m interested in taking your class, but am concerned I won’t be in town for the 2nd-4th classes. Any idea when they will be? Oh, and will the classes be held indoors or out? Thanks
Hi,
Classes will be held indoors, unless weather improves for a plein air class at the end of the series. We’ll be scheduling the rest of the series after the first class, when we can assess what works best for students.
I would like to sign up for Gary’s 2/25 class.
I am interested in Gary’s class, but can’t come on Saturdays. Please let me know when the other classes will be.
Thanks, Lynne
Hi Lynne,
Gary is one of the best watercolor instructors I’ve ever observed teach.
He teaches privately too, at my studio on Landes Street and wants to put together a weekday class. We need six students to make this worth his set-up time and the cost of lights and heat in the studio.
I’ll put the word out for a weekday class. If you have friends who would also like to learn watercolor, let me know. We’ll find a day that works for everyone. What days work for you?
