Watercolor painting is often said to be more difficult than other mediums; this workshop is for those that refuse to believe this myth and are determined to have fun while creating beautiful fall-themed paintings. Through step-by-step demonstrations and proven simple techniques, Sarah Guy-Levar will help students overcome the fear that is associated with watercolors. Subjects will include autumn landscapes, leaves, grapes and pumpkins; all supplies included. Reserve your spot today – class size is limited to 16!
