In this workshop, Jacqueline will teach you various artistic ways to use watercolor paints with water-soluble and permanent inks to create paintings of butterflies, birds, and/or flowers. We will create loose and colorful paintings using unique Japanese paper. It is the perfect substrate for embellishing by adding inks, acrylic paints, rubber stamps, and mixed media elements. Choosing your favorite piece, we will finish by adhering it to a wooden board creating a finished piece that can be mounted and showcased on the wall! All levels are welcome.
