More Information

Find freedom exploring the figure as we experiment with non-traditional uses of watercolor and other mixed media. Bring your large mop brush (essential!) and your favorite watercolor set to discover the fluidity and happy accidents inherent in watercolor. The class will work from both a live model and photo sources.
