Join me in a fun introduction to watercolor. We will do some demos of different techniques. You will learn how to create a flow with water. Mixing color with a wet-on-wet technique. I will show how salt creates a wonderful effect and we will explore removal of pigment to create a relief of color. You will have the option of choosing words to be glued to your card. All supplies are included, including envelopes.

We will create folded birds that can be decorative on stands or double as a greeting card.

This class is a fun, hands-on acrylic painting class where creativity meets the fundamentals. Each session explores core painting skills like color mixing, composition, brushwork, shading, and texture through guided practice and experimentation.
