The secret is out. Watercolor is EASY and FUN!!
Whether you’ve never picked up a brush before or you’ve been painting for awhile, this is for you. I am passionate about painting and especially love to paint animals, people, and flowers. Drawing skills not required!! Through Step by Step Demonstrations plus individual help you, too, will discover the joy of watercolor. Each month we will focus on a different subject and learn different techniques that can be applied to ANY subject including landscapes. You can work on your own projects or paint along with Sue. This class is open to all levels including beginners. So clear your walls because you’ll soon be hanging your own masterpieces.
