Intro To Watercolor
Let’s learn to watercolor! We will begin this class by practicing a few guided watercolor techniques and quick studies to encourage a loose, expressive, free-flowing style. The latter half of the class will focus on completing individual paintings. Each participant will create their own unique arrangement from live flowers and greenery provided by the instructor. Demos and 1:1 feedback is offered throughout the process to help sharpen each participant’s composition and color palette.
