Dive into a playful, creative exploration of mixed-media painting with a special emphasis on watercolor. Throughout this course, students will experiment with a variety of techniques, tools and materials to build confidence and discover new artistic possibilities. Step by step, you'll learn how to create beautifully detailed spring bird paintings-far more intricate than you ever imagined you could achieve. Once your birds are complete, you'll cut them out and mount them against a dramatic black background, enhancing each piece with shimmering touches of metallic watercolor for a striking final effect.
