Join us in this skill building workshop focusing on how to watercolor from a photo reference! This is a wonderful class to either brush up on your watercolor skills, or try it for the very first time. A perfect way to wind down the summer and reflect on cherished memories!
As a class, we will walk through watercolor techniques for you to apply in your final painting and start with a warm up. Everyone will get the opportunity to work on a final piece in which photo references will be supplied. It is highly encouraged for everyone to bring their own image as well if they would like! If you are bringing your own photo reference, be sure to bring a copy that can be marked on.
This workshop is meant to get a brush in your hand, build your confidence in watercolor, and have fun making art!
