Watercolor for Adults and Older Teens with Muhammad Nasir (Thu, July 30, 2026)

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Class Description:

This class is great for beginner and intermediate level artists.

Class runs 10:00am to 12:00 Saturday mornings

Monthly - (3) 2 hour classes (Members) $142.50

Monthly - (3) 2 hour classes (Non-Members) $157.50

During the first session, Nasir will go over the material needed for this course. He will explain why the specific types of paper, paint, brushes, and other accessories are important for this medium.

Class Overview:

During the first few classes, students will learn the fundamentals of watercolor as a medium. This is mainly because watercolor is not like other mediums. For example, it does not have white paint, which in most mediums is used to create lighter tones. Nassir will teach students about things like paint consistency and wetness of paper and how they can impact the quality of the artwork. Nassir’s goal is to simplify these concepts through well designed exercises so that students will be able to get plenty of practice and eventually be able to produce beautiful and expressive paintings in watercolor.

What you will gain from this course:

Students will learn the basics of painting and drawing for a variety of subjects that fall under the watercolor umbrella. Students will also be trained on how to think like an artist and will develop an eye for composition, color mixing, and judging value ranges. After establishing a sound understanding about the watercolor medium and art fundamentals, students will be able to paint any desired subject, including floral, still life, portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes in watercolor.

Necessary Supplies for the Course (not provided by instructor):

● Rough Professional Grade Cold Pressed Paper ○ 100% cotton

○ 140lb, 300gms

○ Block or pad size 9 x 12 (large sheets that can be cut down to desired size are also acceptable)

○ Good brands include Arches, Baohong, Saunders Waterford, etc.

● Professional Grade Paints ○ Yellow Ochre

○ Cadmium yellow

○ Alizarin Crimson

○ Ultramarine Blue

○ Burnt Sienna

○ Neutral Tint

○ White Gouache (Winsor & Newton)

○ Good brands include Daniel Smith, Windsor & Newton, Holbein, etc. ■ I tend to use Daniel Smith most of the time

● Brushes (Professional synthetics and hybrids) ○ No. 6, 8, and 12 Round watercolor brushes

○ No 3. Rigger Brush

○ 1 Inch Flat Brush

○ Good brands include Princeton and Winsor & Newton

● Palette ○ Watercolor palette of your choice

○ Both large flat mixing surfaces and separated wells recommended

● HB or 2B graphite pencil

● Eraser (kneaded recommended)

● Masking Fluid (Pebeo Drawing Gum)

● Tracing paper

● Carbon Transfer Paper

● Painters tape

● Board (to stretch if not working from a block)

● Plenty of paper towels

● Water bowl

● Kitchen Foam

Important:

If you ask me what the most important item from the material list is, my answer will always be 100% cotton at least 140 lb, 300 gms professional grade cold pressed paper made by a credible brand. Investing in quality paper will save you a lot of time and money in the long run. Good quality paper is a must for the best experience above all else.

Paint Outs Interest Group (Thu, August 06, 2026)

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT

A paint-out is when a group of artists meet-up in a location to paint and draw together. When they meet at a scenic, inspiring outdoor location it's called a "plein air paint-out." It's a great way to share your talents, learn from others and enjoy the company!

COST: Free! We are excited to offer this interest group at no cost to members and non-members alike!

Please note that this is not a class. It is a meet-up group for artists.

Most of the Plein Art Group's outdoor meet-ups this year will be held on Thursday mornings between 9:30 and 12:30. The outings being held at another day and/or time will be marked with an asterisk*.

During the hotter months, we will make use of the TWAL studio in the late afternoons to paint from still life that will be set up around the room. On those days only, we will suggest a $5 donation to help support TWAL's rent.

NOTE: If you will be joining us for ANY of these outings, PLEASE contact Sally Bowers (713-823-2824 ) or Nana Midcap (832-398-0214)

We will work on some projects together, using the instructor’s references, and on individual projects of your choice based on your own interest in a subject matter. I will help you every step on the way. The objective for this class is that each student enjoys creativity and self-expression and develops his or her own style.
