About The Event

Course Description:

Learn how to use color and light to create beautiful glowing paintings filled with energy and personal expression. Working from an elegant still life or the gorgeous natural beauty of nature as weather permits us to be outside. You will learn how to use watercolor in a way that is loose, colorful, bold and expressive. You will learn to create alluring watercolor paintings with balanced compositions, rich juicy stokes and color harmony from a limited palette. Join this class and discover the beauty and spontaneity of watercolor painting.
