  Ready to take your watercolor painting a little further? In this intermediate workshop, participants will build on their existing watercolor skills while exploring new ways to work with brush, color, water, and paper.

  You’ll deepen your understanding of brush techniques, color mixing, paint application, and the dynamic relationship between water and pigment. Through experimentation and guided exercises, you’ll discover how the movement of water and paint can create beautiful and unexpected visual effects. We’ll also explore which materials and approaches to avoid—and why.

  This workshop is an opportunity to loosen up, experiment, and develop greater confidence and control in your watercolor practice.
