Over the course of five sessions, you’ll explore essential watercolor techniques, from capturing the movement of ocean waves, creating a beach scene, and bringing animal eyes to life by creating rich, expressive textures. Most exciting of all, you’ll discover the beauty of letting watercolor work its magic—allowing the paint to flow, blend, and surprise you. By the end of the program, you’ll have 3 to 5 finished paintings ready to frame and proudly display.
