Build your repertoire of watercolor techniques and special effects in this engaging workshop. You will explore new skills such as creating illusions of light and texture, controlling edges, understanding cast shadows, determining values, creating volumetric space, and developing strong compositions.
You will also learn special effects and color mixing through a limited palette. The class includes both group and individual instruction, along with guided group discussions to support your learning.
