If you have always wanted to try watercolor but been afraid to, or have tried it and become discouraged, take heart. This workshop will dispel your fears and help you begin to experience painting as an enjoyable and magical part of your life.            

This unique beginning watercolor workshop based on Watercolor: A New Beginning: A Holistic Approach to Painting is a holistic approach in that it honors each person, wherever they're at and whatever they do with the understanding that we are always doing the best we can (given our experience, our knowledge and our state of mind). You will learn ways to deal with the inner critic and open up to your own creative process while also connecting with our beautiful world by painting from life. Especially geared for the absolute beginner and for those who have been painting awhile but may have never gotten a good foundation in color mixing & theory and understanding values this beginning watercolor workshop will help you gain confidence, loosen up and remember how to play.             

Wet-in-wet, color mixing, neutrals, washes & glazes, values, hard and soft edges, negative space, backgrounds, working in a series, drawing, and more will be explored in a playful and supportive atmosphere.   If you used to paint and want a great way to get back into it, you come too!
