A great photo can capture where we’ve been, could be a vacation or just a beautiful spot of nature. How about we take that next step and create a watercolor painting inspired by that great photo and the memories you brought home.
In this two session class, you will be using your creativity and imagination along with watercolors and ink to transform your photo into art. We will be exploring some watercolor and ink techniques before embarking on your work, to give you some practice and get you set to go. Instructor's suggestion: scenery, buildings and street scene choices would work best for beginning painters.
