About this Event
Mei Tomko of Post Nostalgia Prints will guide attendees through a relaxed 2-hour workshop exploring simple watercolor painting and blending techniques: wet on dry and wet on wet. We will use these techniques to paint two pre-drawn bird doodles done by Mei that you will take home. Mei will demonstrate both technique and provide individualized support to each attendee.
You may also create your own illustrations to paint and bring home – all creativity is welcomed and encouraged!
No experience is needed. Just bring curiosity and an open mind!
