Mixed Media Art Workshop: Watercolor & Colored Pencils

About this class:

This class is designed for all skill levels, from beginners looking to explore a new medium to experienced artists wanting to refine their mixed-media techniques. In this workshop, we will focus on bringing a subject to life—whether you choose our featured forest mushroom or an object of your own choice. You will practice:

Watercolor Foundations: Master light washes to establish base colors and soft gradients.

Detailed Shading: Using colored pencils to layer rich tones, add intricate textures, and define shadows.

Building Volume: Learning how to observe light and shadow to make your 2D drawings look 3D and realistic.
