Learn about a variety of illustrations techniques over the course of this class! We will cover everything from collage to ink to watercolor and how to combine them! Each week will be inspired by illustrators' work where we learn how to replicate their techniques into our own illustrations.

- Cold Press Watercolor paper 12x18” or 18x24”
- Watercolor- Tubes or Pans ( If you use tubes you will also need a pallet). We won’t be using any specific colors but having variety is ideal. Winsor Newton is my personal preference but most brands are fine.
