Vibrant and luminous, watercolors lend themselves to a variety of painting styles, from scientific illustration to impressionism. Watercolor paints can be layered for increased 3-dimensionality, allowed to flow for a expressive, spontaneous approach, or applied delicately to capture fine details like fur or grass. In this class, we'll explore it all, widening our understanding and appreciation of this versatile medium. Come prepared for a joyful 6 weeks of mindful painting.
