Watercolor - Paint What You Love
with Holly Payton
$195
Each student will select their own subject or theme. The instructor will start each class with a demonstration, then assist each student individually and offer critiques (if desired). Prior painting experience highly encouraged, this is NOT a beginning class. Returning students will build on skills previously developed. Bring your current paints (warm and cool of each primary) and supplies, an assessment will be done to determine if additional items are needed.
