About this Event
From dry—to dynamic! Today's watercolor materials are stretching the boundaries of what this versatile medium can do and blurs the two worlds of paint and pencil. Learn how you can include this new, exciting material into your artwork.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll discover how to use watercolor pencils to create luminous washes, layered color, and expressive artwork using techniques that blend drawing and watercolor painting.
Perfect for beginners and experienced artists ready to add a new medium to their creative practice.

- Blend and activate watercolor pencils for painterly effects.
