Watercolors are so versatile and have many qualities that make them fun to work with. Learn how to play with this media and how to control it with tricks and techniques that will help you create intriguing paintings. No watercolor experience is necessary, but some drawing experience is helpful. We will work with salt, ink, spraying, resist, dripping, tilting, and blowing. Abstract, still life, floral, and landscape compositions may be explored. Class open to both beginners and advanced artists.
