Botanical Layers: A Mixed Media Watercolor Exploration with Oksana Danziger
Adult Classes | Available
In this class, we’ll explore the expressive possibilities of watercolor markers and watercolor pencils, combining them with paint to create richly layered, vibrant artwork. These tools allow for enhanced control, making it easier to develop fine details, crisp edges, and subtle textures. With the precision of a pencil and the fluidity of watercolor, you'll be able to bring delicate subjects—like petals, leaves, and stems—to life with clarity and dimension. This mixed-media approach is perfect for artists who enjoy drawing and want to add color and complexity without losing precision.
