Floral Watercolor Painting Workshop
This workshop will be split into two parts. In the morning, we will focus on working with your paint and the colors you can create with a limited palette. We’ll learn to paint washes, gradients, backruns and various techniques to create texture and effects for backgrounds. We’ll break for lunch - bring your own, Grubhub, or slip out and grab a bite at a nearby restaurant. Then you’ll have the afternoon to work on your painting by applying the skills you learned. We’ll work on an 8x10" stretched 140 lb. Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper that will be prepared for you ahead of time. Registrants will receive a list of supplies to bring to class.
If you have taken one of Connie's watercolor workshops before, you can opt to come from 1-4 pm for a $50 workshop fee.
