Watercolor Workshop Summer Daisies
This is a one time watercolor workshop where you'll learn several techniques as you paint this lovely little summer snapshot memory. You won't believe how quickly you'll take to watercolor painting with some practice, techniques and allowing yourself to make a few mistakes, that's how we learn the best. With a little faith, time and trust in the brush and your abilities, you'll be painting like you've always dreamed of. You'll recreate the beauty of nature and become hooked on the results. It's so much fun learning the process while producing a beautiful image. You'll practice firsthand, watercolor techniques and approaches to get differing effects layering with wet on wet, wet on damp and bleeding techniques wet on dry and sometimes using the masking fluid to preserve the white. You'll be hooked in no time !!
