Come and learn how to use watercolor paints in a fun and whimsical way. From what brushes to use, to learning simple forms and shapes, we will spend the afternoon dabbling in color and texture. With guidance from the instructor, you’ll create your own painting to take home with you. We welcome all skill levels. All materials and supplies included but feel free to bring your own, if you have them. Join us for a relaxing afternoon while learning a new skill or brushing up on some skills that you already have.
