Whether new to watercolor or you have some brush miles under your belt, it’s always fun to see what watercolors can or can’t easily do. Maybe you’re curious about transparent or opaque methods. Maybe you feel a little stuck or uninspired. Join me while we explore a variety of techniques such as wash, dry brush, masking, bokeh, dry-on-wet, wet-on-dry and gouache. We will be primarily focusing on landscapes while learning color theory and employing a variety of methods frequently used in watercolor. Students will work independently following a weekly demonstration by the instructor. Please come ready to have fun and explore!
