Painting Florals in Watercolour
Saturday, February 11, 2017 10 AM – 4 PM
Capturing the beauty of flowers in watercolour is the focus of this class. The instructor will demonstrate painting petals, leaves, and backgrounds using a variety of techniques. Several techniques, colour suggestions, and basic composition strategies will be included. You will complete this class not only with the know-how to continue painting florals but also with at least one finished painting.
