Learn the foundational skills of watercolor mark-making including bleeding, blotting, and salt starbursts. This class focuses on creating three small abstracts on paper sizes 2x3”. These pieces can be framed together as a triptych.
-
Nature will be your muse and a grounding element in your piece. Discover how illustrating wildness can lead to deep self-expression. In this class, you will create a multi-layered 3×5” postcard-size painting.
-
Refine your line control. This class will encourage mindful making that’s texture focused. It’s not about how to paint what you see, but how to paint what you feel about your subject matter. You will work on an 8×10 sheet of paper that is divided into sections.
