238-Sketching with Watercolor

Adult Workshop | This class has been canceled

Join illustrator Lena Shiffman for a fun and relaxing watercolor workshop. Learn how to sketch with your watercolors, forget about pencil lines and be loose and free with your paint. Students will be painting from life from different objects that the teacher will bring in. Sketching with watercolor makes you not worry about keeping the paint within the lines and keeps your painting looking fresh and effortless. It is fun and might free you up in your regular painting. Some knowledge about watercolor will be helpful, but not necessary. All levels welcome.
