Class Dates: September 15 – October 1, 2020
Hello!
Welcome to “Watercolor Workshop” with Anita Lehmann!
In seven creative sessions we will develop an understanding of transparent watercolor, discover its characteristic four variables and work with the beauty of the paint. Painting with watercolor has its challenges, and in this class Anita will share “cut-to-the-chase” techniques for making vibrant and expressive pieces. We will try to eliminate some of watercolor’s challenges: muddy paint, weak colors, paintings overworked, feeling a lack of control, or too many colors to manage… A must-have class for your mixed media toolbox!
Here is a quick supplies video for you as well:
The private Facebook group is now OPEN to (optionally) share your work and the opportunity for feedback from the instructor and our vibrant creative community. Go here and ask to join and introduce yourselves! (Non-Facebook users… please bear with us as we work this Fall to find a good alternative for you!)
Thank you again for your signup!
