This class will focus upon watercolor ideas and techniques including mixed media processes for beginning watercolorists. Focus will be project based and will introduce methods and processes to build fundamental skills while having fun with this wonderful medium. This is an exploratory class that digs into process and experimentation.This class builds upon the work started in Watercolor for Absolute Beginners but it is not required that you have taken it.
