About this Event
Discover the fun and fundamentals of watercolor in this beginner-friendly workshop inspired by the beauty of sunflowers.
Overview
Together, we’ll explore essential watercolor techniques like brush strokes, water control, color mixing, layering, and timing — while learning how to capture the loose, vibrant shapes and warm colors that make sunflowers such a joyful subject to paint.
Along the way, you’ll experiment with watercolor’s fluid, expressive nature, explore ways to add texture and depth, and gain confidence working with the medium. Using the techniques covered in class, you’ll create your own sunflower-inspired watercolor painting to take home. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to reconnect with creativity in a relaxed, supportive environment. All supplies provided.
