One-Day Workshop | Sunday January 4th 11AM–3:30 PM
$85 per person – includes watercolor tube set, brushes, and paper
Limited to 6 participants for plenty of one-on-one instruction
Spend a relaxed but focused day learning real watercolor skills that improve your technique. Whether you’re new to watercolor or have been practicing and feeling stuck, this workshop will help you move forward with confidence.
You’ll leave with a 24-color watercolor tube set, brushes, and your own 20–postcard painting challenge - a project you’ll begin here and continue at home. We’ll cover water control, color mixing (avoiding mud), shading, highlighting, and a mix of wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and wet-on-damp techniques.
After morning drills on practice paper, we’ll start several postcard studies together. Each card focuses on a specific subject or technique to build skill and confidence. You’ll continue the rest at your own pace using your printed handout for guidance.
Bring a snack or light lunch. No outside drinks are permitted we sell soda, coffee, tea, water, wine and more.
