The Zen of Watercolor Painting
July 7-9 /10am-4pm /$250
​
Some of the merits of painting in watercolor are its portability, quickness to dry, transparency, and spontaneity. With this class you can also discover the meditative effect of watercolor. Find out how you can learn to focus on what the paint, paper and water are doing as your painting dries. Learn effective techniques for planning your painting, unlock color theory, and more. This class is designed for both beginners and those familiar with watercolor painting. Most importantly, we’ll have fun exploring ways you can take your watercolor painting to a more sophisticated level.
An exciting add on: You will make bamboo drawing tools to use and take home.
