Workshops | This class is completed
Looking to loosen up your floral paintings? Try loosening up your washes!
M?y favorite watercolor paintings are the ones in which I allow the paint to do its thing. watercolor has a unique quality when mixed with water, it flows, it moves, it mingles with other colors. Some artists say it has a mind of its own. Some say its unpredictable and hard to control. These qualities are what I love most about watercolor.
L?ets let the paint flow in this exciting workshop. Encourage the paint to make blooms & ruffled edges while you imagine flowers are taking shape. Use water to make interesting marks and see what happens.
