CLASSES
You are encouraged to register prior to the first class meeting; early sign ups indicate to instructors that they can offer the class. Registration is on a first come first served basis; no reservations without payment. All fees are due upon registration. Please use a separate check for each class payable to the instructor. Call instructors for additional information and materials lists.

WATERCOLOR
Wednesdays starting January 7, 2026
Cost: $165 for 4 classes
Paint a colorful Japanese woodblock print image with watercolor! This will be a relatively easy painting and shouldn't take us more than 4 weeks and is suitable for those who haven't painted with me in the past. But, If we need to add more sessions, you will be able to pay as we go.
If you have taken classes with me in the past, you should have all of the supplies needed. If you are new, you will need to meet with me prior to the class to discuss materials needed. Please contact me ASAP to set up a time for this review.
Just as a reminder, Thursdays will continue to be open for anyone needing to 'catch up' if you have missed a class or need extra help. To help cover the classroom rental fee, you pay $15 for the day.
Please call, text or email me with your desire to take the class.
I am considering Saturday or Sunday classes during 2026. If this is something that interests you, please just drop me an email.

If you took Carol Preble-Miles' Watercolor class a long time ago, and are unsure of how to proceed, or you are a bit rusty and just need a “kick start” or, if you just want to paint in a group environment, try these open “sessions”.
Space is currently available. Contact Carol Preble-Miles at cpreblemiles[at]gmail.com or 530-717-3960 for questions.
