Geometric Watercolor Painting

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn essential watercolor techniques such as brush control, color mixing, layering, and how to create smooth washes of paint. We will practice these techniques while painting simple geometric patterns.

The repetitive process encourages focus and relaxation, and allows you to focus on colors and pattern.

This is an ideal introduction to watercolor for anyone looking to learn something new or build on existing painting skills.

All materials will be provided. No need to bring anything except yourself!
