This workshop is about getting from a blank page to a beautiful, finished painting. Jacqueline uses her scientific background to break a painting into manageable step-by-step sections easy enough for beginners and fun for more advanced students. She will teach you the watercolor painting process using techniques to create depth, colorful shadows, texture, and edge control. We will start with some “How to’s…” For example, how to make a colorful wash and not have “mud” on your painting. How to pick the right colors. How to soften an edge… We will create watercolor magic when we combine all these “How to’s” into a watercolor painting! All levels are welcome.
