In this workshop, beginners will learn to use the unique quality of watercolor to achieve a very special result. We will set the color in motion then get out of the way and watch it work! Lose the fear and lean the possibilities of this versatile medium. First time watercolorists will learn brush use, color mixing, washes, texture techniques and a bit of design. We will work from life and from the imagination.
