About
Explore the exciting, surprising medium of watercolor. You'll learn the technical side of painting like color temperatures, color mixing, composition, and the planning of strong paintings. You'll also experiment with special watercolor skills and techniques, brought to life through fun exercises and studies. And you'll learn how to translate watercolor painting into visual journaling, which is a wonderful way to let watercolor flow and let your experience mix with it. Explore the internal voice of being an artist, get in touch with your current experience, and then express that in painting. This is about learning solid techniques and having fun — to experience freedom, exploration, and discovery!

"I believe there is a magic mix of skill and heart that combine to create paintings that arrest the viewer. When we can communicate our inner being through our art — that is the essence of being an artist." - S. Worth
