Watercolor Safari & Nature Studies with Marc
Adult Classes | Available
Explore the beauty of the natural world through watercolor painting, inspired by the instructor’s own reference photos from an African safari featuring wildlife, birds, and dramatic landscapes. Students are also welcome to work from their own reference images or subjects of personal interest. Alongside safari-inspired imagery, the class will expand into botanical studies, genre scenes (figures in environment), portraiture, still life, and fashion and design inspired by African culture. This dynamic and stimulating watercolor class offers a wide range of subjects and creative approaches, helping students strengthen technique while developing their personal artistic voice.
