Do you love florals but don’t want to paint in a rigid or botanically accurate way? Experiment and have fun in a watercolour class creating playful, colourful, and loose florals with some really surprising and fun tools, tips and techniques to paint roses, Gerber daisies and more. All levels welcome. No experience in watercolour is required. Paints, mediums, brushes, and other special materials are supplied by the instructor. Please bring a packed lunch and cash to purchase watercolour paper from your instructor ($5 for five 9x12" sheets).
