  • Absolute Beginner Basic Class

    Anonymous review on 10/8/2017
    Highly recommend this watercolor intro class to beginners. Joan is a great teacher -- very patient and encouraging. She follows up every class with emails with the full recap of the class and links to videos and examples for further instruction. The class sizes are nice and small and the studio is very conveniently located near Union Square.

    My wife and I have been thoroughly enjoying this class (6 week beginner's class)! Joan is an excellent teacher, offering the patience and clarity for any beginner students, while also offering a wealth of resources and information for more advanced students to dive in as deeply as they want. Our class had a couple of students who were actually taking it a second time around, and we can see why. Joan is a rare talent who is both an accomplished artist in her own right, while also having the gift of teaching with clarity and illumination to any novice. I personally gained a deeper understanding of color theory that I had not learned in any of my previous classes in painting or drawing. She does a great job of offering structure to her classes while making the learning process feel very organic and natural.

Question from Merrick D.
Do you sell beginners kits or give out a list of what should be in one?
Answer from Kristle C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Both are available. If you prefer to shop, a (long) materials list is available. To save time and money (don't we all like that?), a beginner's kit is available for purchase from Watercolor for Absolute Beginners. ;)
Answer from Jae C. Verified Student
Yes, Joan, the instructor, will send out an email before the first class informing everyone that a beginner kit is available. Her website also has info on the kits, along with price, as well as a list of materials if you want to get your own: http://www.watercolor.joanweb.com/WC_Materials_List.html
Answer from Emily P. Verified Student
Joan sells beginner kits for $55, which you can purchase with cash on the first day of class. She can also provide you with a list of items to buy.

Watercolor for Absolute Beginners

From Joan Iaconetti (Instructor):

For over 25 years, I worked as a non-fiction writer and a travel photographer. Fourteen years ago, I took up watercolor on a lark, and soon became pleasantly obsessed with it. Unfortunately, the two classes I took (both with accomplished professional artists) never covered...
