Beginning Watercolor: Part 2- August 7 - 14 - 21 - 28 - with Nancy Larson
If you have painting experience or have taken a class with me before, you may still be fighting the medium. This class will guide you with skill development and water control. Let the watercolor dance, develop creative problem-solving, and strengthen your design skills. While class part 1 focuses on color. Part 2 will focus on mixing and matching colors. We will have practice exercises in each class as well as a finished painting.
