Botanical Watercolor Technique Workshop (January 4th and 18th)

Taught by Mary Lyn Gough – 30 years painting and teaching experience.
I work in watercolors to gain the transparency of oils and vibrancy of acrylics and the beguiling nature of water; an attempt to control the uncontrollable. The combination is a viewing intimacy; luscious, inviting and vibrant.
