CLASS DESCRIPTION

This class is for those with some experience with watercolor. The instructor went to Greece on vacation and the class will be using her photographs as reference material. The focus will be on simplifying the composition (not recreating the photo), and having fun with watercolor, creating something new. Participants will have one to two finished pieces and gain more confidence with the medium.
