Watercolor Made Easy
Saturday, October 18; 11am – 2pm
Instructor: Ilah Jarvis
Demystify watercolor and discover how fun painting can be! You will gain an understanding of how watercolor behaves and have fun experimenting with different easy, abstract exercises and techniques.
You will learn basic color theory, the wet into wet technique, the dry technique, and how to mix colors and build darker values through glazing.
No drawing or art experience is needed, and you will begin to develop the skills to create the effects that you want.
