Exploring Florals with Watercolor One-Day Workshop
About this Event
Sunday, September 27th from 9:00AM-4:00PM
Learn to create paintings inspired by flowers and nature. We will work with cut flowers and learn how to draw and compose our pieces. Then we will explore how different watercolor techniques, such as color mixing, wet on wet, wet on dry, glazing and detail work, can be used to bring them to life. Beginners welcome!
$125 workshop fee does not include materials. There is a materials fee of $15, payable to the instructor by Venmo or cash on the day of the workshop, or you can bring your own materials. If you would like to bring your own materials, see the list shown below the instructor bio.
NOTE: Eventbrite charges non-refundable processing fees for online payments and now displays these fees in the total ticket price shown on this event listing.
We will have an hour break for lunch midday. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.
