—————
What makes this different from my casual sip & paint classes?
This isn't a quick paint night - it's a 3.5-hour intensive where we slow down and go deep, painting on a larger (11×15) piece of Arches Watercolor Paper versus my normal, smaller (8×11) sheet for my more casual classes and events.
You'll learn techniques that take real time to practice and master, with personalized feedback and hands-on troubleshooting. The kind of instruction I can't fit into my 2-hour class.
Plus, you have the add-on option to get the complete professionally edited workshop video to reinforce everything you learned. In this hands-on session, you'll learn wet-on-wet, lifting out pigment, layering pigment, splattering, how to create texture, and much more in a relaxed, supportive environment.
VIDEO OPTION
With your workshop purchase, you’ll have the option to include a professionally edited video tutorial that will walk you through each step of the painting we do in the workshop. It will also include student questions, so you will get real-life troubleshooting. Once you have access to the video (after the workshop is complete), you can stream/download the video and watch it over and over again at your leisure.
