Indulge your creativity with this small group one-day watercolor workshop! Bring photographs that inspire you to replicate, or use ones provided by the instructor. Beginners and experienced artists alike will receive individualized coaching, with topics including composition, values, various wash options, contrast, texture, and supply choices.

We'll begin with a discussion of materials and techniques, followed by a simple watercolor painting demonstration. Students may paint along using the same image or work from their own photo. While various approaches are covered, the instructor specializes in tightly rendered, realistic work.

All levels are welcome.
