Absolute Beginner Basic Class
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. -
Absolute Beginner Basic Class
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. -

Watercolor for Absolute Beginners
This is a wonderful class! The instructor, Joan Iaconetti, was right when she said I didn't have to know how to draw to learn how to use watercolor -- or have any prior art experience. She teaches you simple techniques and tricks, gives clear instruction, and is full of encouragement and praise. She loves what she does and it shows in how she teaches the class and interacts with her students. I learned so much and now I'm hooked on watercolor! I've already signed up for another class! -
