Winter Wonderland in Watercolor with Terry Page

Dates:  March 16, 2026 - May 4, 2026. There are 8 classes in this session.

Time: Monday mornings from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Enroll by February 15 and save on the cost of the full 8-week session!

Location – Peter Becker Community. Maplewood Estates, 815 Maplewood Drive, Harleysville, PA 19438. The class is located upstairs in the craft room. Take the stairs (or elevator). When the stairs divide, take the left stairway and turn right at the top (straight ahead off the elevator, passing the stairs). The classroom will be on your left just before the exercise room.  For parking, there is a visitor parking lot across the street from the main entrance of Maplewood Estates.

In “The Winter Wonderland” class we will explore snow in many ways. Possible images include: Sheep in snow, A fox in a white-out storm, A rusted red pick-up truck with a snow-covered Christmas tree in the bed, and a house in the still of a frozen night. As usual, I will have other options available.

Drawings will be provided for tracings plus the images to work from. Digital tablets are recommended to work from; color xerox copies are also available. All images are my own so you may use them for shows, sales, or whatever you wish.

Materials List – Students must bring their own supplies to class.

Brushes – Wash brush plus an assortment of rounds. 

Watercolor Paints – A simple, limited palette: I suggest a warm and a cool red, yellow and blue plus a green, violet and browns. My basic, go-to palette contains: Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Red (W)/Alizarin Crimson (C), Cadmium Yellow (W) or Primary Yellow (W)/Hanza Yellow (C), French Ultramarine (W)/Cobalt Blue (C), Chinese White, Payne’s Gray, Olive Green. It depends on what you are painting!

Paper: One or two sheets of Arches 140 lb. 22 x 30” cold press paper, either natural or bright white. You can cut it in half, then in half again to have 4, 15 x 11” sheets. Remember you need an extra edge around your painting if you intend to frame it. You may also use a block: 9 x 12 or 12 x 16.

Please have your paper stretched with the first drawing ready for us to begin or have your drawing on the block paper.

Other supplies to bring-

-Soft cotton rag

-#2 pencil

-Kneaded Eraser

-Palette

-Masking (or artists’) tape if you want a straight edge around your watercolor

-Hair dryer (don’t worry if you don’t have one – if 2 or 3 people bring one, we’re good)

-Misket

-An old brush for applying the misket (small pointed) and a soft toothbrush for ‘spraying’ the misket onto the painting.
