Luminous Watercolors is a four-session course designed for learners with little to moderate watercolor experience who want to develop confidence, control, and superior artistic expression.  Students will explore essential watercolor techniques with an emphasis on luminosity – the use of light, layering and color harmony to create vibrant, glowing paintings.

Denise Chocchiaro is an award-winning watercolor artist whose work has been widely recognized and published in several magazines. Through luminous washes and transparent color, Denise captures intimate, magical moments that reveal not only the form of her subjects but their essence and spirit. Denise has taught watercolor classes and private students for many years and is known for her supportive and inspiring teaching style.
