Watercolor Painting for Beginners II 1F23
Continue to build your basic watercolor skills to effectively convey realistic scenery and objects: brush strokes, light and shadow, beginning with sketching to capture the subject matter’s proportions and lines. This class is intended as a continuation for folks who’ve taken the Beginners class but also open to newcomers who have some watercolor experience.
Some basic drawing experience is helpful, but not necessary.
