Project Overview

Participants will learn three main watercolor techniques that will allow you to build up a flower's 3-D form, creating subtle washes, lifting paint, and adding dry details. The artist will introduce basics materials and techniques and demonstrate how to take a basic wash and create the depth and detail that helps the flower look more realistic. Follow along and create a beautiful botanically inspired watercolor painting to take home.
