The possibilities of watercolors are vast! In this 9-session course students will explore watercolor painting focusing on abstraction. We will start by learning about additives and techniques of manipulating watercolor paint, how to create fascinating effects, and move onto more advanced projects. Through presentations and projects, students will be introduced to different approaches to creating abstract paintings. In this class with plenty of individual attention, we’ll exercise creativity, and learn how to use the elements of self expression (color, shape, gesture, and more) to make meaningful art. The goal of the class is for students to learn different methods of painting, and to become comfortable with using watercolors to create abstract paintings.
$25 one-time materials fee is due on the first date of the class. And you can buy brushes or paints from me at a discount price.
For those of you who cannot attend all of the sessions, I will have a make-up date. If there is more that on day, contact me, and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Boris Ostrerov earned a BFA in Painting from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and an MFA in Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2013. While studying, he learned to paint and draw both representationally and abstractly with various mediums. He worked as a teacher assistant for multiple teachers and classes at MIAD and SAIC. In the last three years he has worked for wine and paint companies and taught art classes to beginners. He creates a comfortable environment and uses his ability to clearly and enthusiastically articulate and demonstrate approaches and techniques to painting and drawing. He believes everyone has the potential to improve their artistic skills and exercise their creativity through visual art.
Ostrerov has exhibited his work widely and earned several opportunities including showing at Paris London Hong Kong (PLHK), Tory Folliard, and the Portrait Society in Milwaukee. He has been featured in several publications including New American Paintings #119.
