Winter Botanicals in Watercolor

Even in the winter, there are gourd-geous botanicals to paint!

Join us for an afternoon where we attempt to capture Nature in all her glory with brush and watercolor. This class will cover watercolor blending techniques for achieving the striking color combinations of the season. Students will leave with new skills in watercolor and at least one finished illustration.

Feel free to bring any of your own inspiring bits of botanic nature such as fall leaves (dry), gourds, apples, squash, pumpkins, or anything else that captures your imagination.
