Janet Nunn
Bold and Bright with Liquid Watercolors
Jun 7 - Jun 12
4 Teaching Days
Description
Returning for the 8th year in 2026
Janet’s classes are a unique way to learn to paint with watercolors . . . liquid watercolors!
The class explores using the liquid paints, which give more vibrancy to your paintings and simplify the artist’s palette, making watercolor painting more efficient and more fun. Janet has a unique way of teaching in which adults learn best. In Janet’s classes, everyone paints and the sessions are based on a shortened demonstration time, and a longer hands-on painting time allows for the participant to really learn. Most of the supplies are provided, so try before you buy.
We will try a variety of techniques – some traditional and some not – to apply the paint and make it work for you. We will use a variety of brushes, but we will also use straws, plastic wrap, tissue, masking, misting water, and basting brushes. When was the last time you created foliage in a landscape with a basting brush?
These classes are for every level of watercolor painter. It is a great experience for those just learning the process, for those with more experience who have been painting for a while, and want to revitalize their paintings, or learn new techniques.
Janet is an award-winning artist and has done workshops, classes, and demonstrations all over the nation. Her works were featured in the watercolor books Splash 14 and Splash 16, and she has been featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine, Rocky Mountain Gardening, and on local and regional television shows.
As an instructor, Janet enjoys teaching in a positive way. Guiding students to uncover their own style of painting while they learn many watercolor techniques. Follow Janet’s Colorful Cactus YouTube video: https://youtu.be/rqe6tftYEzo
Janet has published three instructional books — ”How Do You Paint That” Vols. 1, 2 and 3 which include more than 40 step-by-step lessons in each book. To order her books and for more information, visit her website at www.janetnunnwatercolors.com.

Biography
The bright color and blending that Janet uses, creates detail and feeling in her paintings. Capturing the Colorado landscape is one of her favorite compositions. There is so much to paint in Colorado from changing colors, varied landscape and the great people. Janet uses a paint made in Colorado, Dr. Ph. Martin’s Hydrus Liquid Watercolors. This paint keeps the brightness and consistency in the paintings. Janet’s paintings will be featured in Watercolor Artist in the February 2014 magazine.
