This class introduces students to the basics of watercolor painting. We will go over some basic techniques and color mixing exercises as well as exploring the fundamentals of watercolor. Botanical painting is a mindful way of appreciating nature and a great way of practicing painting.  As spring approaches we are starting to see signs of life again and are inspired by the emerging flowers and buds! Watercolor is a beautiful and versatile medium for us to capture this season.
