Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Project
Prerequisite: None

With watercolor and mixed media, we will have fun painting several paintings from start to finish, just like the master painters. We will start with some great composition and value designs that will help you learn how to turn your paintings into works of art. Using watercolors, we will explore traditional watercolor techniques, such as colorful washes and glazing, but will also be adding some mixed-media to put a final touch on our masterpieces. I will show you how to fix problem areas in your paintings. This class will be a valuable lesson in how to create a beautiful painting!
