Derby artist teaches step-by-step watercolor class at library

20 enjoy learning to paint winter scene

Valley Arts Council President Rich DiCarlo offered a free class in watercolor techniques Monday night at Derby Public Library. 

I've taken the class in the past so I can attest it's fun and definitely educational!

DiCarlo simplifies the subject matter by showing students that what they are about to paint is made up of several simple shapes.

This is DiCarlo's watercolor painting that the class used as a model.


These photos are posted in the order they were taken.

Below are a few of the paintings created that night.

As you can see, everyone has his or her own style. I think they did a great job! Using water colors can be a challenge.

DiCarlo will teach another class at the library in January at a time and date to be announced.
