Students will create a 16”X 20” watercolor painting during this one-day
workshop and explore combining an expressive underpainting with a glaze
finish in the background. Live plants will be provided as inspiration and
reference for each artist.
Intermediate watercolor students will focus on the portrayal of botanical
objects in a loose and juicy approach to translucent watercolors.
