This six-week watercolor journey is designed to guide students from the foundational flow of water and pigment to the intricate details of botanical expression. Through gentle structure, skill-building exercises, and blooming confidence, students will learn to work with watercolor, embracing its spontaneity while gaining control. Each week builds on the last, blending technical exercises with creative expression. This class is ideal for beginners who have never picked up a brush, and for intermediate painters seeking to deepen their understanding and loosen their hand.
